You seem to have ignored my comment about using the sysflags name?

As I understand, the sysflags name is a versatile express specific
register name that just happens to be used for the SMP boot address as
well...

Therefore, this should really be CONFIG_SMP_BOOT_ADDR or something like
that, at the very least.

again, if you disagreed with my previous comment, please comment on it
and rationalize your choice.

I still feel you're wrapping board specific logic into generic code, and
that you should call out to a more generic function.  Imagine an SOC
that uses an implementation defined control register for this instead of
a memory address...

perhaps what you need is:

void set_board_smp_boot_addr(unsigned long addr);
unsigned long get_board_smp_boot_addr(void);

and call these instead of your direct use of sysflags addr here...?
