workaround-1.1.efi causes processors to be "stuck"

On a 4P Lion box with A3 processors, I have applied workaround-1.1.efi with an argument of 3. You see 4 messages that it has been applied. However, during the Linux boot there are messages that processors 1, 2, and 3 are "stuck". And I endup with only one processor. If I reboot and don't applied workaround-1.1.efi then I endup with 4 processors. This is with kernel-2.4.0test8-45.

Any idea on how to get multiple processors AND the stability that workaround-1.1 provides?
