I would have thought that you'd need to make sure that the SMP enabled kernel is running by default for the 3.x-release which makes it a production reality, or there will be issues relating to just what the 'stable' FBSD is. Given that the 'cost' of having SMP code in place should be low (and could be optimised further for the special case where the number of active CPUs is 1) is there a reason not to complete the integration to the point where there is no ifdef difference between SMP and UP source code? Is it just 'not done yet'?
