Does this indicate something is wrong with SMP and the MM code, or that
some PPC-specific part needs fixing? I've tried to keep up on
linux-kernel, but it's a little overwhelming ;)
The SMP stuff in Linux/PPC currently only supports the Apple MP
architecture (I think they call it "powersurge").  Your MTX board
probably has entirely different ways of coordinating the CPUs.  Have
you looked at arch/ppc/kernel/smp.c?  I think that's where you'd have
to start changing things.
