I think that such a situation is rare during boot; the boot processor
should already have its SPCF_RUNNING flag set before attaching secondary
CPUs.

From memory, I think SPCF_RUNNING is set after all CPUs have been attached
even for the boot CPU.

Correct, the CPUs are attached before configure2() is called, so ncpu is incremented before the schedstate flag is set. Any call inbetween may result in a call to pmap_growkernel().

@tron: could you try with the attached patch please? Thanks!
