Not really - CPUs got booted by that time originally (pre-4.0, which is
what the old comment said), but not onlined. Prior to the use of
smp_call_function() for the TSC reliability check I assume only CPU
feature flags got looked at, which was available at that point prior to
Keir's re-work of the SMP boot process.
