State of SMP / dual-core for MV78200?

[Nils Faerber]

Hello!
I have a Marvell Discover MV78200 at hand and am wondering about the
multi core support in ARM Linux for it. I know that the Marvell based
kernel suports dual-system, i.e. booting two kernel instances on the two
cores. I also see that the upstream kernel still has the hooks for this
in the board support files (for distributing the resources between the
cores). Does anyone here know about the status about this dual-system
support?
And wouldn't SMP also work on such CPUs, i.e. having one kernel instance
with two cores? For the application in question SMP would make more
sense (high data I/O traffic).

Any information is welcome!

Cheers
