It had bugs on the x86_64 architecture at the time, where it was called after CPU_ONLINE. The arches have since merged and the bug is gone. It might be noted other features should probably start making use of this callback; microcode updates in particular which might be fixing important erratums would be best applied before beginning to run user tasks.
