Sparc32 SMP fix

[Blue Swirl]

Hi,

This patch fixes SMP booting:
Entering SMP Mode...
Starting CPU 1 at f01e46e4
Calibrating delay loop... 180.63 BogoMIPS
Starting CPU 2 at f01e46f0
Calibrating delay loop... 181.86 BogoMIPS
Starting CPU 3 at f01e46fc
Calibrating delay loop... 182.68 BogoMIPS
Total of 4 Processors activated (721.71 BogoMIPS).

Though depending on version Linux usually hangs later.

Please apply.

Thank you very much. Applied. Where does it hang now?

And finally 'vmlinuz-smp-2.0.35-13', I can't remember where this was:
[sparc] Kernel already loaded
PROMLIB: obio_ranges 1
poke_swift: swift_is_tsparc=0
root child is ffd46a48
Found CPU 0 <node=ffd4ffb4,mid=0>
Found CPU 1 <node=ffd502f8,mid=1>
[hangs, doesn't start the other cpu]

The problem could be in Qemu's interrupt controller emulation (inter-CPU 
interrupts not working) or serial port (2.2 series get to userland with 
graphical console).
