Actually, that's wrong - it's got nothing to do with SMP vs non-SMP.

It's more to do with which CPUs are being supported.  If they all use one
single cache maintanence implementation, then direct calls are used as an
optimization.  If they require more than one cache maintanence
implementation, they are indirect calls.  SMP really doesn't come into
that decision.

So:

Would be wrong.
