The INIT IPI event handler special cases the boot-strap processor (BSP) handling, avoiding the same mp state handling which is done for the other (AP) processors. Debugging a linux guest usage scenario of avoiding a reboot through the bios for a crash on any processor via eg: kexec -p /boot/vmlinuz --initrd=/boot/initrd --append="$(cat /proc/cmdline)\ maxcpus=1" led to identifying this change as the needed fix. With this change, an AP can now startup the BSP without error.
