Okay.  I have a new patch here:

http://people.freebsd.org/~jkim/multicore-20050926.diff

I removed mp_machdep.c patch and added proper multicore identification 
for both AMD and Intel CPUs.  I hope this does not overlap with your 
work.  Please review/test.

Please explain what you are working on, so that we don't make 
duplicate effort.

Thanks,
