Not with the current kernel since it hardcodes the shareability bit in
the page tables and the LDREX/STREX operations don't work as expected on
uniprocessor hardware.

I agree that it would be nice to be able to have an SMP kernel booting
on both UP and MP but there are some #ifdef CONFIG_SMP in the kernel
which would need to be sorted out.
