The issue was found on the platform that using "Multiprocessor Wakeup
Structure"[1] to startup secondary CPU, which is usually used by
encrypted guest.  Before waking up the APs, BSP should memremap() the
physical address of the MP Wakeup Structure mailbox to the variable
acpi_mp_wake_mailbox, which holds the virtual address of mailbox.  When
BSP needs to wake up the APs, it writes the APIC ID of APs, wakeup
vector, and the ACPI_MP_WAKE_COMMAND_WAKEUP command into the mailbox.

Current implementation doesn't consider the case that restrict boot time
CPU to 1 with the kernel parameter "maxcpus=1" and bring other CPUs
online later, the variable acpi_mp_wake_mailbox will be set as read-only
after init.  So when the first AP gets online after init, the attempt to
update the variable results in panic.

The memremap() call that initializes the variable cannot be moved into
acpi_parse_mp_wake() because memremap() is not functional at that point
in the boot process.  Moreover, the APs might never be brought up, keep
the memremap() call in acpi_wakeup_cpu() so that the operation only
takes place on demand.

[1] Details about the MP Wakeup structure can be found in ACPI v6.4, in
    the "Multiprocessor Wakeup Structure" section.
