[PATCH] cyclades works OK on SMP

From: Marcelo Tosatti <marcelo.tosatti@cyclades.com>

The cyclades.c driver was marked BROKEN_ON_SMP during early 2.6.  It was
fixed later on but the tag was left in Kconfig.

The driver is not very smart wrt SMP locking, it can be improved.  There is
only one spinlock per card which guarantees command block ordering and
protects different shared data, which can be held for long periods.

_But_ the locking works reliably, so remove the BROKEN_ON_SMP tag.
