The kernel in /n/sources/contrib/miller/9/bcm supports multicore on the
Raspberry Pi 2, but has an elusive "one last bug" which I suspect has to
do with cache or page table coherency.  The symptom is very infrequent
memory corruption under heavy load, and the go test suite with *ncpu=4
occasionally triggers it.
