Are these actually ARMv6? Most ARM11 cores you'd come across
in practice are ARMv6K (ARM1136r1, ARM1167, ARM11MPCore),
in particular every SoC that has any mainline support except for
the ARM1136r0 based OMAP2 and i.MX3.

I've been only using smp_on_up for the ARMv6 ARM1136r0 variants
for omap2, no SMP on those.

Obviously all SMP hardware is ARMv6K, the only question I raised
in point "c)" is what we would lose by making ARMv6 (ARM1136r0)
support and SMP mutually exclusive in a kernel configuration, and
I suppose the answer remains "testing".

Agreed that is probably the biggest reason to keep it at this point.

Tony
