I don't know for sure (Fenghua?) but I'd guess not. CPU#0 is being brought *back* online
by this NMI ... i.e. it has been online before, so interrupt vector tables and CR3
etc. have been set to Linux-y values. When bringing other cpus online for the first
time they have nothing set so we'd still have to use INIT.
