As it happens, I was working on some of the groundwork for this just this morning. I'm confident that given the hardware I can get smp going fairly easily. Also, since the kernel already supports SMP for the x86 port, I imagine that the changes will be self-contained enough to be suitable for the 4.x branch. If all goes well, I expect 4.1 to ship with SMP support. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
