Steve,
This could indicate a real problem. It means that the core was
unexpectedly reset at some point. This is checked in cache_as_ram.inc.
Look for /* check if cpu_init_detected */.
If the reset is intentional, the reset code should set/clear the bit in
the msr by calling set_bios_reset();
I have seen unintentional resets caused by AP init and/or CAR and memory
init issues. You can get into some funny race conditions with AP and BSP
using the same CAR location but that is just a guess.
I hope that gives you some ideas about what might be going wrong and
where to start looking.
