Nope. platsmp.c still requires some cleanup like removing the redundant
bootlock and pen_release flag as pointed out by Russel. Andreas just
replied to your cleanup patches but there was no follow up since that. So,
I guess we can just apply Russell's patches and this patch once Andreas is
fine with it (it looks good to me though).
