We won't poke the CPUs without an enable-method, so personally I'm not
too worried either way about having the CPUs listed.
Which of spin-table/psci are you planning on using for SMP support, and
when would that be likely to appear?
Which exception level do CPUs enter the kernel? Even without a
virt-capable GIC booting at EL2 is less work for the FW and gives the
kernel a better chance of fixing things up (e.g. CNTVOFF).
Thanks,
Mark.
