-5 == -EIO (being returned from do_boot_cpu() in case of no
response from the remote CPU).

Passing "cpuinfo" may give some additional information, as may
passing "apic_verbosity=debug".

Comparing the boot log with a native kernel's on the same machine
may also be helpful.

Some of the ACPI output also looks at least questionable - there
are X2APIC entries (all disabled) for all APIC IDs that were already
listed with LAPIC table entries. And the LAPIC_NMI entry has a
bogus ACPI ID. Is it certain that the firmware of the system is sane?

Beyond that, your engineers are likely in a better position to debug
this than anyone on the list is...
