It would work for me except for a couple of nits below.

The reason why is that the wakeup mechanism used here is only usable
once per CPU by the spec, so I would add this information to the
comment. Maybe something like "According to the ACPI specification
(ACPI 6.4, Section ...), the mailbox-based wakeup mechanism cannot be
used more than once for the same CPU, so avoid doing that."

And I would reword the message like this "CPU already awake (APIC ID
%x), skipping wakeup\n".

Note, though, that instead of having this additional flag, you may as
well create a mask that is fully populated initially and clear the IDs
of the woken-up CPUs in it. Then, you'd only need one check here
instead of two.
