Only if something is wrong and the mapping did not get setup. The system
should still boot with 1 core without accessing the the SCU in this case.

This BTW is the only reason we need a static mapping of the SCU. So I
could just hard code it or use device tree to get the number of cores
and eliminate the static mapping.
