It seems to hang in smp_core99_kick_cpu(), probably when the CPU takes
the exception. I inserted some debug messages around the call to
mdelay() like so:
if (ppc_md.progress) ppc_md.progress("!", 0);
mdelay(1);
if (ppc_md.progress) ppc_md.progress("smp_core99_kick_cpu: after mdelay", 0);
When booting, "!" is printed, but the other message is not.
Is there anything else I can do to diagnose the problem?

I beleive it hangs in the second CPU entry point in head.S. My new CPU
identification & setup mecanism was not tested on SMP yet, so I beleive
it still has bugs. I'll look into this today or later this week.
