MIPS: Initialise MAARs on secondary CPUs
MAARs should be initialised on each CPU (or rather, core) in the system
in order to achieve consistent behaviour & performance. Previously they
have only been initialised on the boot CPU which leads to performance
problems if tasks are later scheduled on a secondary CPU, particularly
if those tasks make use of unaligned vector accesses where some CPUs
don't handle any cases in hardware for non-speculative memory regions.
Fix this by recording the MAAR configuration from the boot CPU and
applying it to secondary CPUs as part of their bringup.
