subcore.c isn't built for CONFIG_SMP=n, resulting in:

  setup.c:(.init.text+0x34b0): undefined reference to `.update_subcore_sibling_mask'

I needed to add:

+#else
+static inline void update_subcore_sibling_mask(void) { };
+#endif /* CONFIG_SMP */


I also got quite a few conflicts, with this and the previous patch, mainly in
the paca and asm-offsets. Please check I resolved them correctly:
