When testing PREEMPT_RT kernel on BF561-EZKit, the kernel blocks while booting. When the kernel initializes the ethernet driver, it sleeps and never wakes up. The issue happens when the kernel waits for a timer for Core B to timeout (the timers are per-cpu based: static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct tvec_base *, tvec_bases) = &boot_tvec_bases). However, the ksoftirqd thread for Core B (note, the ksoftirqd thread is also per-cpu based) cannot work properly, and the timers for Core B never times out. When ksoftirqd() for the first time runs on core B, it is possible core A is still initializing core B (see smp_init() -> cpu_up() -> __cpu_up()). So the "cpu_is_offline()" check may return true and ksoftirqd moves to "wait_to_die". So delay the core b start up until the per-cpu timers have been set up fully.
