Smart cache is a architectural feature, and relies on a certain hardware structure to be present (in detail, the L2/L3 caches of individual cores to not be separated, as well as certain optimizations in data prefetch logic etc.). As such, it is highly unlikely that this feature can be disabled (although I was unable to find any reference on this).
