Hi,

My first time using smt=0 on hypervisor command line so not sure how
many versions and different pieces of hardware this happens with,
but I noticed this during the microcode update stage of boot:

(XEN) Brought up 8 CPUs
(XEN) Parked 8 CPUs

It doesn't happen with smt=1 and it also doesn't happen when SMT is
disabled in the BIOS.

Boot does continue normally after this point.

Is this expected? 4.12.

Cheers,
Andy
