The platform specific SMP code is one area that prevents supporting a 
single kernel image. All the functions in platsmp.c need to be converted 
to function pointers and a lot of that code is pretty simliar across 
platforms. What's needed is a common platsmp.c with something like 
platform specific smp_ops like PowerPC. I think addressing that first 
would simplify this restructuring as you are doing some of what's 
needed, but you introducing new namespace problems like platform_cpu_*.
