Agreed. ?At least making SMP unavailable when both v6 and v7 are
configured should be small and good enough for 2.6.38-rc5.
That's probably the best solution as then we can still do boot
testing on all omap2plus_defconfig boards.
Just to be clear, are we saying disable SMP from omap2plus build.
If the v6, v7 is not fixable then, we also need a SMP
config for OMAP. Just boot test with SMP disable config for
OMAP4 is not enough.
You could also have a "v7+" unified kernel -- i.e., supporting OMAP3+4+SMP.
This is what we currently do in Linaro, since we're focusing on v7 and above.

Cheers
