cpu_startup — machine-dependent CPU startup

# SYNOPSIS

The machine-dependent cpu_startup() is invoked early during system bootstrap, after the console has been set up and immediately after uvm(9) has been initialized.
The following tasks are performed by cpu_startup():

- print the initial copyright message;
- allocate memory and buffers for kernel tables; and
- initialize the CPU.
