If there is no context handler for the boot CPU, the system is doomed,
right? It isn't able to get any interrupt, and you don't register
the hotplug notifier that could allow secondary CPUs to boot.

So what is the point? It feels like you should just give up here.

Also, the boot CPU is always CPU 0. So checking that you only register
the hotplug notifier from CPU 0 should be enough.

Thanks,
