Thanks Will. I didn't realize ARM64 has SMP selected unconditionally, it
looks the patch is pointless.

A follow-up question, I know ARM64 has no UP implementation now, it
sounds make sense to have SMP select unconditionally, however, it might
be more flexible to have SMP like x86 and other architectures. And, it
may also help to find more bugs when !SMP.

Thanks,
Yang
