To the best of my knowledge, the mips64 tree only works in SMP on the ip-27
which is r10K based. There would be a bit of work to get an RM7K based
multiprocessor system to run. A fair amount of the "generic" code in
that tree is also pretty ip-27 specific, and so would need to be cleaned up.
I'm working on mips32 SMP support at the moment; there are no existing ports of
this tree to an SMP platform. The mips64 stuff is certainly much, much more
mature. I don't know of any reasons not to use the mips64 side for an RM7K.
