At first I thought that it was a consequence of the way it does CPU
affinity, but now I see that it shortcuts if smp_started is not true.
How about something like the following for 4BSD?

The flow control is a bit awkward because of the multiple
affinity/bound cpu cases.  If somebody prefers the code to be
structured differently I'd be open to suggestions.
