Add SMP exception vector support to the powerpc zImage bootwrapper.  For
platforms which have entry points in the vector table.  This implements
SMP entry via the system reset vector.

This one seems pretty PS3 specific, and there's no makefile entry to actually
compile it...  Could we name it head_ps3.S or something similar?

Or am I misunderstanding the code and it's really generic to most SMP
machines (which would make a case to arguably call it head_smp.S).

No, its not platform specific nor SMP specific, it should work
with all SMP and UP platforms that need this kind of support.

Well, all platforms that are multithread at least... the thread number
testing won't do any good on 970 for example :-)
