Even though we expect only master core to execute U-Boot code let's make sure even if for some reason slave cores attempt to execute U-Boot in parallel with master they get halted very early. If platform wants it may kick-start slave cores before passing control to say Linux kernel or any other application that want to see all cores of SMP SoC up and running.
