So the call in the secondary CPUs path can be removed. It also means that x26 does not need to be set for secondary CPU. Note that we will need to keep x26 around for the boot CPU as BSS should not be reset when booting via UEFI. Lastly, document the behavior and the main registers usage within the function.
