Hello Guo Ren,

I was able to build the patch series for OpenRISC, but after applying the
openrisc SMP kernel build no longer can boot.  It doesn't boot on single core
system or multi-core systems.  I don't get any console output to help with
debugging it.

It may take be a bit longer to debug this.
