The problem with the SMP case is you need to spin the other processors (you might find the MP1.4 bios writers info very useful since it basically tells you what is expected). You'd have to find somewhere to hide a small piece of code across the reboot (eg in the low 4K or EBDA). The bios is the low 1K from memory so putting it at the end of the 4K we preserve ought to work
