The MagicEyes Digital Co. MMSP2 System on Chip (SoC) does have two 
processors - an ARM 920 and an ARM 940.

Neither (as licensed by ARM) has the logic required to consider this a 
multi-core chip (no cache coherency logic, bus snooping etc).  An SMP 
kernel should still only find one CPU though the other could be used as 
a _very_ smart peripheral.

Note that an ARM 940 does not (if memory serves) have any MMU or even an 
MPU (you could of course run uClinux on that though).

I also have to declare bias in that I work for one of the parties 
mentioned above, and that I am speaking purely for myself.
