The initial work on SMP was done by Jack Vogel, of Sun Microsystems, who also did a SPARC port ofr FreeBSD 1.1.5. There is a patch available for 2.2.x-current, checked out as of 00:00 GMT 27 October 1995. I put some effort into updating this code to make it work with 2.2.x-current as of 21:06 06 June 1996, and it was the basis for the code that Peter Wemm and Steve Passe made work, and from which the current SMP code is derived. There is no intention to back-port the updated code to -stable; it could be done in perhaps 40 hours, but would require a good working knowledge of locor.s, the Intel 1.4 SMP specification, and (IMO) "vi' wiring in your medula oblogata to achive in that time frame.
