Gah! Well spotted! I think I was getting away with this because the platforms
I was using for testing didn't need tlb ops to be broadcast.

Your patches are turning up as attachments here, so I can't comment
inline. The only problem I can see is for SMP v6 platforms (ARM11MPCore)
where the MPIDR is actually the `CPU ID register' with bits 31:12 set to
zero, so we'll say it's a UP core.

Since 11MPCore is the only ARM SMP v6 processor and you're checking
the implementor ID anyway, it might be easier to check for the 11MPCore
explicitly, ((read_cpuid_id() & 0xfff0) == 0xB020) rather than check for v6/v7.

Or we could just ignore v6 for now.
