Yeah, it actually uses some signals from the nest chiptod patch.

I'll see how it goes, it may have to wait for next merge. SMT for
powernv is a little more important since it's more user-facing and it
would be nice to introduce SMT for both pseries and powernv together.

Chiptod for doesn't really do much except step through skiboot init
code, and getting more useful things wired up like TB fault / HMI
injection won't be ready before freeze.

Thanks,
