Another idea would be to get rid of SMP setup in CAR stage. It sounds highly funky to me anyways.

This may fix one problem, but it does not fix the general problem: using cf8/cfc is not going to be safe on multiple cores, from my understanding.
Not to complicate matters even further, but since we are talking about locking - will any of this improve the 'many cores talking to serial at once' problem?
