SMP is not supported for 750 processors.

You mean for IBM 750 processors :-)
The MPC75x processors support this.

No, actually, I meant all 750 processors.  The MPC750 will broadcast
the cache operations if you set HID0[ABE], but that doesn't help us
because the MPC750 never snoops those operations.  According to page
2-63 of the MPC750 users manual: "Of the broadcast cache operations,
the MPC750 snoops only dcbz, regardless of the HID0[ABE] setting."
