Yes, we reuse old hardware design with new enougth (3.12) kernel.

We use several configurations, on some of them the second cpu is disabled,
on others the second CPU connected to the first via gigabit ethernet 
(eth2<->eth3 in loopback like mode [I fixed one bug several years ago
about usage of such config, it should be in mainline]).

At now I have several git branches for slightly different device
configurations, so I suppose support of Device Tree should simplify
things for me.

But I can only test it on mv78200 CPU, and only
compiled into the kernel, because of u-boot from marvell old enough(no
Device Tree support),
and not sure that mainstream u-boot support the usage of two cores.
