These routines are first called via CPU_UP_PREPARE notifier by the BSP
and then by the booting ASP from vmx_cpu_up()/_svm_cpu_up().

Avoid the unnecessary second call.

Let's please not introduce any further "CPU0 is always to BSP"
assumptions - we ought to get to the point where CPU0 can be
hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged again.

Pass bool bsp to (added) _vmx_cpu_up(), just like we do for SVM?

Why not call svm_cpu_up_prepare(cpu) in the caller of the bsp path,
dropping this clause entirely?

That's the best you can do, I suppose.
