[PATCH 11/11] smp: Move secondary CPU initialization request

[Joel Sherrill]

Are you sure it was a scheduling bug and not a dispatch disable nesting problem? If the count does not go back to zero, then a blocked thread will continue to execute.

If it is a bug I would like to know the detailed scenario so I can reproduce it in the simulator.

Not with the current simple SMP scheduler, but this code should not depend on a
particular scheduler implementation.

I will provide an alternative simple SMP scheduler in the next couple of days
since the current one didn't work.  I encountered a situation in which a
blocking thread continued to execute.
