Hmm...

An incoming hotplug CPU has no features setup on it.
I see that `sbi_cpu_start` will supply `secondary_start_sbi` as start
up code for incoming CPU. `secondary_start_sbi` is in head.S which converges
in `.Lsecondary_start_common`. And thus hotplugged CPU should be
issuing shadow stack set FWFT sbi as well.

Am I missing something ?

This is the correct flow. However the opensbi will deny it due to the
SBI_FWFT_SET_FLAG_LOCK already being set.
So the menvcfg.sse will not set by this flow.

if (conf->flags & SBI_FWFT_SET_FLAG_LOCK)
               return SBI_EDENIED;


hmm... Why?

`conf` is pointing to per-hart state in firmware.

On this incoming cpu, opensbi (or equivalent) firmware must have
ensured that this per-hart state doesn't have lock set.

Am I missing something?
