Please don't do this - you're hacking around what could be a real problem.
Instead, please investigate what is going on and why your smp_prepare_cpus()
function never gets called.
Quite honestly, whenever I see crap like the above, it just makes me want
to tell the ARM-SoC people to forever /dev/null your emails because you
really don't know how to deal with the Linux kernel.
Always *fully* investigate a problem that you find to determine whether
it's your problem or some as yet undiscovered kernel bug. Never hack
around it and then submit a patch suggesting that your workaround is
something that "has" to be done.
