That sounds like either the Linux kernel isn't scheduling on the thread you're asking it to, or that the APIC-based CPU identification isn't doing what you want.
The SIV APIC-based CPU identification works on real Windows systems as shown by http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=23856 but not on Wine. What do I need to do to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that this is a Wine/*nix issue ? Have you run SIV on your system ? Does the failure get shown on your system please ?
