In a uniprocessor implementation the interrupt processor targets
registers are read-as-zero/write-ignored (RAZ/WI). Unfortunately
gic_get_cpumask() will print a critical message saying
GIC CPU mask not found - kernel will fail to boot.
if these registers all read as zero, but there won't actually be
a problem on uniprocessor systems and the kernel will boot just
fine. Skip this check if we're running a UP kernel or if we
detect that the hardware only supports a single processor.

Maybe we should just drop the check entirely? It looks like it may
just be debug code that won't ever trigger in practice, even on the
11MPCore that caused this code to be introduced.
