Ha, this is because blackfin is broken.

blackfin doesn't respect ____cacheline_aligned and NOPs it for UP
builds. Why it thinks {__,}__cacheline_aligned semantics should differ
between SMP/UP is a mystery to me, we have the &_in_smp primitives for
that.

So just ignore this, let the blackfin people deal with it.
