So I finally managed to try this out on my KZM9D board. The SMP bring
up code continues to work as expected, so it seems that SGI0 can be
used instead of SGI1 on EMEV2. Let's just say that the boot protocol
implemented by the mask ROM is rather poorly documented. Anyway, to
test I used the following patch on top of linux git 42a579a.
