FWIW, for systems with memory controllers on the CPU itself like the ultrasparcIIIi systems (sb1500/2500, u25/u45) you can't boot non MP kernels without removing ram from the non boot CPU, since we don't do something needed for it tow work, so the system hangs. we could attempt to make sure memory ranges are attached to this CPU but i didn't see how to find the topology easily and this is really why GENERIC is GENERIC.MP from the old days (also, in my testing, i couldn't notice the difference running GENERIC.MP on my UP ultra10 anyway.) .mrg.
