We need to set a default priority for all interrupts for each CPU before interrupt controller is configured. In other words it this necessary to guaranty a default state of all interrupts before doing something else with interrupts. Moreover as I understand irq_cpu_online() is intended to be used with virtual IRQs (already allocated interrupts) but the configuration of priorities must be done for all hardware interrupts to bring CPU to the default state.
