In smp_prepare_cpus(), after max_cpus are booted, instead of breaking from the loop, the 'continue' statement is used which results in unnecessarily wasting time by looping NR_CPUS times! Many things around this could be pulled into generic code in the future, but for now, fix this particular piece of code locally (because I am unable to convince myself to ignore it even temporarily, given that it is such a gem!). And also rewrite the 'if' statement in a more natural way.
