While not really a fix I've applied this to my 3.15 fix branch.  At least
it will avoid us having to fix it up for 3.15 :-)

That said, SMTC was a remarkable hack and ingenious proof of the MT
architecture.

Still a sore spot is CONFIG_MIPS_MT_FPAFF with all its uglyness it
scatters over the tree, in particular the wrapper around the syscall
entry point.  I wonder if nowadays with the work that's been done on
supporting inhomogenous SMP systems (ARM biglittle) there's now a
better way to handle this sort of issue.
