The SMP/nAMP bit is something specific to the ARM11MPCore and Cortex-A9
processors produced by ARM. If you core doesn't need this, it should use
a default __v7_setup without any additional bits being set.
I'm not aware of other MP ARM processors produced by other companies
that would require exactly the same bit being set.

Yes, I know and I'm not saying that you should change it in this patch.
It's just that I would have liked to only duplicate the setup function
rather than the whole procinfo structure.
