After a bit more of an analysis of our changesets (I concluded it must
have been something we introduced). This is the source of the SMP boot
hang on 2.6.20-rcX:
commit 01a9fa750904beed08814364fcbd7039eca8ec71

Optimize TLB flush on SMP systems
Signed-off-by: Randolph Chung <tausq at debian.org>
As predicted, the reason it passed all the tests at the time it was
introduced is that because of the piggin bug, we were only scheduling on
a single CPU, and so the SMP piece of this wasn't truly tested.
Reverting this patch allows ioz to boot correctly.
