:I just confirmed that Luoqi's patch works against 4.0-RELEASE on a Dell
:PowerEdge 2450.
:The system boots fine. I ran a quick check by re-compiling the kernel.
:So far no problems.
:FBSD 4.0, RCC chipset, AIC 7899 and SMP all working at the same time.

:Now waiting for the commit of the patch to 4.0-STABLE.

:Thanks a lot guys, you saved my day!

It looks like Luoqi has committed & MFC'd the patch! I would like to
take this opportunity to congratulate Luoqi (and those that provided
the excellent bug reports) on locating and fixing this problem. The
issue with SMP breakage on the Dell boxes has been with us for a while
and it's nice to see progress!
While there are certainly going to be continuing issues with SMP
compatibility (for example, the NEC box, which is still an open issue),
getting it working on Dell boxes was a major hurdle due to the number
of people using Dell SMP boxes.
