Probably the two siblings are enumerated only in ACPI tables. If you

You didn't enable ACPI, it's needed for almost all systems to detect HT

Aside from that, in general I would say that on any modern x86 system
ACPI should always be enabled. In many cases it seems the BIOS code is
not tested much without ACPI anymore, so going without ACPI can be
problematic.

Thanks all of you. It seems the problem is ACPI, however, should not
it be noted in some way? Maybe at Documentation/smp.txt, maybe at the
help section at CONFIG_SMP, maybe a "depends on ..."
Or maybe CONFIG_SMP should enable some bits of the ACPI code needed to
detect such additional cores.
