If we are talking about the same assert then it occurs on the P4
because it tries to disable the PIC when multiple CPUs are present. I
removed the assertion because it is just fine to disable the PIC when
multiple CPUs are present, as long as you try to disable it only once.

I understood that your tests on SMP hardware were with a single-CPU
(BSP) running in the kernel. Did you manage to kick off the other
processors (APs) as well?
