That's why we have cpu_is_bsp() in pc.c.

Obviously, every CPU (which includes the APIC) must know if it is
supposed to be BP or AP. It would be unable to enter the right state
after reset otherwise (e.g. Intel SDM 9.1). cpu_is_bsp() is basically
reporting the result of the MP init protocol in condensed from.
