This isn't nearly as much change as I was expecting :)

Can you elaborate on what the changes to mpic and gfar are doing.

I assume that memory is split between the two cores.  So if you have  
512M of memory 0-256 is for core0 and 256-512 for core1, or do you  
handle this some other way (excluding the magic hw hack for exception  
vectors)?

thanks
