OK, looks like we need at least:

    x86/topology: Handle CPUID bogosity gracefully
    
    Joseph reported that a XEN guest dies with a division by 0 in the package
    topology setup code. This happens if cpu_info.x86_max_cores is zero.

That at least will avoid the crash. But the change only sets ncpus to 1
if it is 0. That still might lead to an unexpected number of available
CPUs...

Title:
  HVM/SSD Xenial AWS AMI doesn't launch on r3.large

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  **NOTE** The additional information attached to this bug report is for
  my laptop and does not apply to this bug report. Using ubuntu-bug, I'm
  not sure how to control this. Using the debian bug tool, I would have
  just edited the file....

  If you attempt to launch an ec2 instance using

  IMAGE   ami-c1cb23ac    099720109477/ubuntu/images-testing/hvm-ssd
  /ubuntu-xenial-daily-amd64-server-20160516.1  099720109477
  available       public         x86_64   machine

  on an instance of type r3.large, the kernel doesn't boot. You get
  output such as the attached log (kernel-ami-c1cb23ac.log).

  You get essentially the same result if you try to launch an image from
  ami-840910ee which is the AMI you get from http://cloud-
  images.ubuntu.com/locator/ with the search string "16.04 hvm us-east
  ssd" and picking the latest version.

  HVM is supposed to work on r3.large. We have used this successfully
  with Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04, and 15.10 and also with CentOS 5, 6, and 7.
  r3.large is supposed to work with both HVM and PV. We have no problems
  with this AMI on m4 or c4 instances which only support HVM.
