[PATCH] ARC: Troubleshoot execution of UP Linux on SMP HW and vice versa

2016-05-17 Thread Alexey Brodkin
ARC SMP hardware heavily relies on Interrupt Distribution Unit (IDU) for all interrupts serving. And UP ARC hardware lacks this block. That leads to incompatibility between UP and SMP Linux builds. Even though UP build of Linux will run on SMP hardware at some point strange behavior will appear.
