The current code will always use destination 0 for any MPIC, because
mpic_init is run befew smp_init and it currently uses the local CPU.
If an SMP powermac requires a specific destination setting in the
secondary MPIC, either the current mpic_init code is broken there
in the same way as on cell, or more broken if it requires something
other than destination 0.

On cell, I know that destination 0 is always correct because of the wiring
inside of Axon.
