Do you foresee having more than one implementation of these in the
near future? If not, I would suggest leaving out the extra indirection
and just using direct function calls.

You could even go further and do what arch/arm64 has, making
SMP support unconditional. This obviously depends on hardware
roadmaps, but if all harfdware you support has multiple cores,
then non-SMP mode just adds complexity.

You CONFIG_NR_CPUS allows up to 256. I think you need to
adjust one of the numbers to match the other, or remove this
definition and just use CONFIG_NR_CPUS directly.

Why are these 'volatile'? If they are MMIO registers, they
should be __iomem, and accessed using readl()/writel()
 etc
