With new SMP-enabled CPUs with ARC HS38 cores and corresponding support
in Linux kernel it's required to add basic SMP support in U-Boot.
Currently we assume the one and only core starts execution after
power-on. So most of things in U-Boot is handled in UP mode.
But when U-Boot is used for loading and starting Linux kernel right
before jumping to kernel's entry point U-Boot:
[1] Sets all slave cores to jump to the same address [kernel's entry
point]
[2] Really starts all slav cores
In ARC's implemetation of SMP in Linux kernel all cores are supposed to
run the same start-up code. But only core with ID 0 (master core)
processes further while others are looping waiting for master core to
complete some initialization.
That means it's safe to un-pause slave cores and let them execute kernel
- they will wait for master anyway.
