It's certainly the code that I'm still using!  ;o)  So prom_build_cpu_map
needs to be called earlier (as in maybe from smp_prepare_boot_cpu?).
Either that, or each secondary needs to take responsibility for initializing 
its own run queue, but I find the thought of having the system up and
running SMP with some run queues not yet initialized makes me nervous.

        Regards,
