I have tested a quad-core version of the core. However, it turned out that a 4-core variant does not bring any performance gain. In fact, the opposite is the case, as the current bus system architecture cannot supply sufficient data and instructions to keep all 4 cores busy.

Therefore, this PR provides a clean-up of the SMP configuration dedicated for 2 cores at maximum.
