I'm not against testing this patch, but we do not have any SMP capable bcm63xx board here so I don't think it will be of any use. bcm6358 and bcm6368 do indeed have two MIPS threads, but SMP is not possible (due to a data cache or TLB shared across all MIPS threads , unbearably complicating things, IIRC). bcm63xx ARM SoCs look like they can support SMP though.
