There is work (the SMP project) which will allow it to work on both processors, which is making quite a lot of progress and should be made more publically available (in the master source tree I mean) quite shortly judging on comments I've seen. It will never make it into the 2.1 branch (i.e. -stable), it will be something that will be in 2.2-RELEASE though (what is -current at the minute).
