[RFC PATCH] arch: riscv: cpu: Add callback to init each core

Hi Bin,

I can move it to the place right after stacks for harts are set up and
right before picking up the lottery hart. (like below) How about the
function name? Do we come up with a better function name?
mach_cpu_core_init() is similar to mach_cpu_init() in include/init.h. It
could cause confusion.

116         /* setup stack */
117 #if CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(SMP)
118         /* tp: hart id */
119         slli    t0, tp, CONFIG_STACK_SIZE_SHIFT
120         sub     sp, a0, t0
121 #else
122         mv      sp, a0
123 #endif
124

move it here

125 #ifndef CONFIG_XIP
126         /*
127          * Pick hart to initialize global data and run U-Boot. The
other harts
128          * wait for initialization to complete.
129          */
130         la      t0, hart_lottery
131         li      t1, 1
