[BUG] safe_smp_process_id() uses apicid which exceeds NR_CPUs in array

[Doug Thompson <norsk5@yahoo.com>]

with 2.6.15 kernel running on a Tyan S4881 quad processor board (with factory BIOS)
using Opterons 254s, I received the following MCEs:

CPU 18: Machine Check Exception:                4 Bank 0: b601a00000000833
TSC 9c3799943459 ADDR 4eee07800

CPU 18: Machine Check Exception:                4 Bank 2: d000400000000863
TSC 9c3799943d01

CPU 18: Machine Check Exception:                4 Bank 4: d42dc00100000813
TSC 9c379994422d ADDR 4eee05708


It was later determined to be a bad memory stick, but the problem was 
'CPU 18'.  Running the same hardware with 2.6.17-rc6 produced MCEs with:

'CPU 2' messages instead

as the output. Thought problem fixed, BUT.....

looking at 2.6.17-rc6 safe_smp_processor_id()  in arch/x86_64/kernel/smp.c (This
function is called by the MCE handler code):

int safe_smp_processor_id(void)
{
        int apicid, i;

        if (disable_apic)
                return 0;

        apicid = hard_smp_processor_id();

----->  if (x86_cpu_to_apicid[apicid] == apicid)
                return apicid;

        for (i = 0; i < NR_CPUS; ++i) {
                if (x86_cpu_to_apicid[i] == apicid)
                        return i;
        }

        /* No entries in x86_cpu_to_apicid?  Either no MPS|ACPI,
         * or called too early.  Either way, we must be CPU 0. */
        if (x86_cpu_to_apicid[0] == BAD_APICID)
                return 0;

        return 0; /* Should not happen */
}

I noticed the:   if (x86_cpu_to_apicid[apicid] == apicid)
above.

NR_CPUS was 4 and apicid could be:  16, 17 18, or 19

definitely an out-of-bounds reference.
