#1664911 — [PATCH v2 09/12] ARC: [plat-eznps] Update the init sequence of aux regs per cpu.

From: Liav Rehana <liavr@mellanox.com>

The following commit adds a config that will enable us to distinguish
between building the kernel for platforms that have a different set
of auxiliary registers for each cpu and platforms that have a shared
set of auxiliary registers across every thread in each core.
On platforms that implement a different set of auxiliary registers
there is a need to initialize them on every cpu and not just the for the
first thread of the core.
