But may print lots of noise like:

[    0.008955] smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs ...
[    0.009661] psci: failed to boot CPU1 (-1)
[    0.010360] psci: failed to boot CPU2 (-1)
[    0.011164] psci: failed to boot CPU3 (-1)
[    0.011946] psci: failed to boot CPU4 (-1)
[    0.012764] psci: failed to boot CPU5 (-1)
[    0.013534] psci: failed to boot CPU6 (-1)
[    0.014349] psci: failed to boot CPU7 (-1)
[    0.014820] smp: Brought up 1 node, 1 CPU

Is this expected?
