Thanks for finding this. The fix looks to be a dummy definition of this
function for x86_64. The final fix (which has been under discussion)
will be the elimination of safe_smp_processor_id() altogether.

I've merged this into the

[VOYAGER] x86: add {safe,hard}_smp_processor_id to smp_ops

patch and respun the tree (and built it with an x86-64 cross compiler),
so it should be safe to include next time around

Thanks,

James
