I think it is because the sections are too far for bqeu to jump and
the config I used just small enough for it to jump so I didn't see
this bug. Sorry about that.
I tried this fix to boot in Unleashed board.

#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
li t0, CONFIG_NR_CPUS
- bgeu a0, t0, .Lsecondary_park
+ blt a0, t0, .Lgood_cores
+ tail .Lsecondary_park
+.Lgood_cores:
#endif
