Maybe we need a new dtb for QEMU ppce500 and P50XX machines. I don't 
know. For us it is good to have this patch because we can test further. 
(other updates)
With this patch, SMP works again on virtual QEMU ppce500 and P50XX 
machines. If you have another code, then I will test it with QEMU and my 
P5020 board.

Thanks,
Christian
