one-line patch. Ok will add to bugzilla shortly.

Ok, was a big quick here, was given BUG 2006. Is a bug though. Please terminate it.

BUG 2007

Yes a bug, however only on AMP systems. Will file a PR shortly.

I think it is a bug, especially on a LEON3 UT699 where snooping is implemented but can not be enabled. Will file PR.

Ok. Will add two patches in same PR.

Ok, sorry I thought the MP tests will be released first in RTEMS-4.11. This patch need reviewing.

Thanks,
