Hi Will,

I tested this series on v7.3 rc6.

On Qemu （ms）:

|     Platform     | baseline|   P=0   |   P=1  | Delta(%)|
| ---------------- | ------- | ------- | ------ | ------- |
| 128 vCPUs KVM    | 77.45   | 81.59   | 487.5  | -529.5% |
| 64-core ATF QEMU | 878.63  | 884.69  | 657.43 | 25.18%  |

The parallel boot time under KVM has become much slower, and it is
unclear whether there is a concurrency bottleneck inside KVM.

And the parallel boot time of ATF-based QEMU is reduced by about 25%.

On Kunpeng 192-core HIP12 server (ms):

| v7.3 rc6  |   P=0    |   P=1    | Delta(%)|
| -------   | -------  | -------  | ------  |
| 14573.17  | 14573.17 | 8581.10  | 41.21%  |

But, similar to the test results of the previous version, the secondary
cores boot in parallel, reducing the boot time by 41%.
