From: Liav Rehana <liavr at mellanox.com>
The following commit adds a config that will enable us to distinguish
between building the kernel for platforms that have a different set
of auxiliary registers for each cpu and platforms that have a shared
set of auxiliary registers across every thread in each core.
On platforms that implement a different set of auxiliary registers
there is a need to initialize them on every cpu and not just the for the
first thread of the core.

+ On the real chip of the NPS, auxiliary registers are shared between
