If you read GENERIC you find the following lines:
# To make an SMP kernel, the next two are needed
#options        SMP                     # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
#options        APIC_IO                 # Symmetric (APIC) I/O

just uncomment the two options, recompile your kernel and you have a
SMP capable kernel. The second cpu should automatically be detected on
boot.
