This should either only print in the success case (to avoid spamming
everyone) or we need a little bit of infrastructure like on x86 so that
we print exactly one of:
	"Booting natively on bearmetal"
	"Booting paravirtualised on %s", hypervisor->name

On ARM the shared info contains exactly 1 CPU (the boot CPU). The guest
is required to use VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info to place vcpu info for
secondary CPUs as they are brought up.
