Currently, all harts have to jump Linux in RISC-V. This complicates the multi-stage boot process as every transient stage also has to ensure all harts enter to that stage and jump to Linux afterwards. It also obstructs a clean Kexec implementation. SBI HSM extension provides alternate solutions where only a single hart need to boot and enter Linux. The booting hart can bring up secondary harts one by one afterwards. Add SBI HSM based cpu_ops that implements an ordered booting method in RISC-V. This change is also backward compatible with older firmware not implementing HSM extension. If a latest kernel is used with older firmware, it will continue to use the default spinning booting method. Signed-off-by:
