The hypervisor is an untrusted entity for TDX guests. It cannot be used
to boot secondary CPUs. The function hv_vtl_wakeup_secondary_cpu() cannot
be used.
Instead, the virtual firmware boots the secondary CPUs and places them in
a state to transfer control to the kernel using the wakeup mailbox. The
firmware enumerates the mailbox via either an ACPI table or a DeviceTree
node.
If the wakeup mailbox is present, the kernel updates the APIC callback
wakeup_secondary_cpu_64() to use it.
