Because the bootloader (CFE) is not initializing the Read-ahead cache 
properly on the second thread (TP1). Since the RAC was not initialized 
properly, we should avoid flushing it at the risk of corrupting the 
instruction stream as seen in the trace above.

bool bmips_rac_flush_disable;

No need for the false, it is initialized to 0 by default.

if (unlikely(bmips_rac_flush_disable))

and move it after the check on the boot_cpu_type() so we do not impact 
other BMIPS CPUs.

	bmips_rac_flush_disable = !!(read_c0_brcm_cmt_local() & (1 << 31));

	is more compact, but what you have works too.

Sorry for being so insisting about the name, but signaling what this 
does is fairly important.
