There is only CPU0 hotplug issue. Excpet CPU{1-7} are well working.
To fix this issue, we must need the help of firmware developer.
But, We never get the any help. Also, as I mentioned on previous mail,
all Exynos SoCs can not turn off the CPU0. I've never seen Exynos SoC
that CP0 hotplug is possible.
