Subject: PATCH:  Allow over-ride of smp_found_cfg with kernel cmd-line option.

Allow user to keep smp_found_cfg set to 1 even if MADT
cannot be parsed.  This works around funky BIOS on FWA-7304
(VIA CN700 chipset) system, and possibly other systems as well.
Without this override, performance drops by around 15% on
network throughput tests on this system.

This is based on 2.6.29-rc3
