Applied to rmobile/smp, thanks.

There are integration issues with regards to the GIC changes that I'll
have to take care of during the merge window regardless, so resolving the
CONFIG_SMP thing at that point should be pretty straightforward. My plan
is to wait until after Russell merges, merge your stuff on top of that,
and then send the updated bits to Linus in one shot.

In order to avoid clashes with -next for now however I won't be merging
the topic branch in to my -latest branch. Given that the number of boards
in the wild for this at the moment are in the single digits, I'm not too
worried about the amount of time these changes spend in -next so long as
no regressions are introduced for the other boards.
