Hi Rob,

This looks pretty cool. Can you or Will comment on what is still left
for the SMP ops that is actually required as platform specific code?

Specifically, I'm wondering if we could have a set of default smp_ops
based on this that we could use with the default machine descriptor [1]
and any platform that has SMP enabled but a NULL smp_ops pointer.
