Should this patch be split into two. One to introduce the new smp_init
hook into the generic ARM kernel code, and one to make vexpress use it?
With, descriptions something like:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ARM: kernel: Enable selection of SMP operations at boot time

Add a new 'smp_init' hook to machine_desc so platforms can specify a
function to be used to setup smp ops instead of having a statically
defined value.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ARM: vexpress: Select multi-cluster SMP operation if required
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

That certainly makes sense.  Are you willing to split your patch as such 
and send me the result?
