 I see that the SMP source was merged with the 3.x.x development kernal.
Does this mean that 3.x.x, when released, will seamlessly support 1 - N
processors?  Also, what do you imagine maximum N will be at 3.x.x release
time?  I believe the original Intel spec was up to 4 processors, but I see a
lot of 8 processor servers coming out lately.

Thanks,
