    did you read

            /usr/src/UPDATING

    ---8<--
    20031022:
            Support for HyperThread logical CPUs has now been enabled by
            default. As a result, the HTT kernel option no longer exists.
            Instead, the logical CPUs are always started so that they can
            handle interrupts. However, the extra logical CPUs are prevented
            from executing user processes by default. To enable the logical
            CPUs, change the value of the machdep.hlt_logical_cpus from 1 to
            0. This value can also be set from the loader as a tunable of
            the same name.

    HTH

    Cheers

            Sven
