[PATCH 1/4] ARM: Add SMP_ON_UP Kconfig option for booting SMP kernel on UP

Add Kconfig option to boot SMP kernel on uniprocessor systems,
and define MULTI_CPU, MULTI_TLB and MULTI_CACHE when SMP_ON_UP
option is set.

This will allow us to dynamically set the uniprocessor functions
during the boot in a way that should also work with ZBOOT_ROM.
