I have been thinking of the ARMv7 / SMP infrastructure.

Disclaimer: recently, I am less sure that all ARMv6 cores can do TEX remap.

To really take advantage of the new ARM features, we need a newer 
compiler. I have an old hacked up early gcc 4.5 snapshot, but it does 
not compile itself. clang does not cross compile and I have not tried to 
compile it under ARM.

Does the OMAP4 implement the MP extensions? They would simply the SMP 
coherency/TLB operations by not having to perform an IPI.
