smp and kernel poll

[Rickard Green]

Kernel poll with the non-smp emulator should work as before. We haven't 
implemented support for kernel poll and smp (we probably will in the 
future). Kernel poll is automatically disabled when building the smp 
emulator, i.e., --enable-kernel-poll will enable kernel poll on the 
non-smp emulator but wont affect the smp emulator.
