I would like to see this unified - it makes no sense for them to be
different.  We are unlikely to support asymmetric multiprocessing any
time soon, so let's go with the single cur_cpu_spec pointer (a la
ppc64).

Michael Ellerman also has a patch that makes this a struct (i.e. not a
pointer) which allows us to mark the array of cpuspec's that we test
against at boot time as __init.  Maybe he could do the ppc32 single
cpu_spec as part of that.
