Currently we don't print anything before starting to bring up secondary CPUs. This can be confusing if it takes a long time to bring up the secondaries, or if the kernel crashes while doing so and produces no further output.
On x86 they work around this by detecting when the first secondary CPU comes up and printing a message (see announce_cpu()). But doing it in smp_init() is simpler and works for all arches.
