Often the firmware will guard out cores after a crash. This often
undesirable, and is not immediately noticeable.
This adds an informative message when a CPU device tree nodes are marked

Tested on qemu 4.1 with this patch applied:
https://ozlabs.org/~joel/uta2019/0001-TESTING-mark-every-second-core-as-guarded.patch
This will show no cores guarded:
qemu-system-ppc64 -M powernv8 -nographic -smp 1,cores=1,threads=1 -kernel zImage.epapr
This will show three:
qemu-system-ppc64 -M powernv8 -nographic -smp 7,cores=7,threads=1 -kernel zImage.epapr
