Just a quick note to call out that this case of 'duplicate' firmware
description needs an updated comment. Now we are not deferring
registration on x86 this is detecting that arch_register_cpu()
has already been successfully called and we should not do it again.

I've added rather more detailed comments enumerating of the paths we
can take to hit acpi_processor_hotadd_init() in the v6 series
(tests ongoing)
