this is early bootup so there's no need to be "nice" to other cores or
sockets - none of them are really running.
It probably should actually HLT, to avoid sucking power, and stressing
the thermal system. We're dead at this point, and the early 486's which
had problems with HLT will lock up - we don't care.
