> On RISC-V, all harts boot independently. To be able to run on a multi-hart
> system, U-Boot must be extended with the functionality to manage all harts
> in the system. All harts entering U-Boot are registered in the available_harts
> mask stored in global data. A hart lottery system as used in the Linux kernel
> selects the hart U-Boot runs on. All other harts are halted. U-Boot can
> delegate functions to them using smp_call_function().
>
> Every hart has a valid pointer to the global data structure and a 8KiB stack by
> default. The stack size is set with CONFIG_STACK_SIZE_SHIFT.

> - Implement hart lottery to pick main hart to run U-Boot
> - Remove CONFIG_MAIN_HART as it is not required anymore
> - Register available harts in the available_harts mask
