Hi Srivatsa.

I cannot see how this would work for sparc32...

See how you define a function with the same name three times.
On sparc32 we include all of the above files in the kernel,
and uses various tricks to determine at run-time
which variant to use.

We need to define these general functions in smp_32.c and
then take relevant action depending on sparc_cpu_model.
