Xen ARM doesn't wait indefinitely a secondary CPU to come online. 
Instead, if it isn't online after a 1s, it will be skipped.

This could happen on the Foundation Model if the number of cores given 
on the model command line, handled by the firmware and described in the 
device tree don't match each other.

Cheers,
