What still needs to be done for that?

[I recall having issues bringing up the A7 cores on my old APE6 board (that has since failed and been returned to Renesas). The kernel failed to bring up the A7 cores if enabled at boot, but I was able to enable up to three (any three) of them one-by-one via sysfs. I'm not sure if that was specific to that board, though.]
