Hi. Using git bisect, I've discovered that commit
61165d7a035f6571c7576e7f51e7230157724c8d is the cause of 32-bit Intel
Mac machines to reboot very early during startup when booting with EFI
(but not if using BIOS). The last change in that commit is:

If I put the "#ifndef CONFIG_SMP" back, it no longer fails to boot.
What can I do to help debug this and get it fixed?
