d116b53f87 x86: Add comments to the SIPI vector
The Intel SIPI (start-up inter-processor interrupt) vector is the entry
point for each secondary CPU (also called an AP - applications processor).
The assembler and C code are linked, so add comments to indicate this.

ef1683d5c3 x86: Pass correct cpu_index to ap_init()
In sipi_vector.S, cpu_index (passed as %eax) is wrongly overwritten
by the ap_init() function address. Correct it.

45b5a37836 x86: Add multi-processor init
Most modern x86 CPUs include more than one CPU core. The OS normally requires
that these 'Application Processors' (APs) be brought up by the boot loader.
Add the required support to U-Boot to init additional APs.
