If the smp_ops are present we'll try to boot the secondary CPUs
with the Scorpion boot sequence instead of the Krait boot
sequence. This will quickly hang the system. We can properly
handle this with my SMP patches[1]. In fact, we can delete this
entire file if those patches are accepted. Please take a look.
I'll Cc you on them when I resend.
