The subcore logic needs all the CPUs declared in the DT to be bootable,
otherwise the kernel hangs at boot time. Since subcore support starts
with POWER8, we can keep the current behaviour for older CPUs.

Since smt-enabled is still needed by Freescale, the choice was made to fix
powernv only. I could test that smt-enabled is still honored on POWER7 and
ignored on POWER8, as expected.
