There's a field in the SYSCON register which tells you how many cores
there are. microwatt_init_smp() looks at that field and only starts
the CPUs that are there.
Oops, sorry, I see that I forgot to do 'git add' on
arch/powerpc/platforms/microwatt/smp.c. Here it is (I'll include it
properly in v2, of course):
