The commit message goes into no detail about the changes you're making to
thread handling, nor are there relevant comments.

Why did the C code not have an isync, if it's required here?

I assume the reason for this is that, unlike the kexec case, the cpu has
been reset so PIR has been reset? Don't make me guess -- document.

What ensures that only thread 0 runs this? Especially if we're entering
via kdump on thread 1?

Do all cores get released from the spin table before the first thread
gets kicked?

What does setting booting_thread_hwid to INVALID_THREAD_HWID here
accomplish? If threads_per_core != 2 it would never have been set to
anything else, and if threads_per_core == 2 you immediately overwrite it.

cpu_up_prepare does rcpm_v2_cpu_exit_state(cpu, E500_PM_PH20). How do
you know the cpu is already in PH20? What if this is initial boot? Are
you relying on it being a no-op in that case?

WARN_ONCE(1, "More than 2 threads per core not supported: %d\n",
threads_per_core);
