OK, so I haven't fully read your list, but looking through the code
today I found that alpha and blackfin call CPU_STARTING after
set_cpu_online(, true), whereas all the other archs call CPU_STARTING
before.

Aside from that probably wanting to get fixed (not sure it actually
breaks anything atm), this is another reason most of that wants to be
generic code.
