It's coming.  For all who are unaware (i.e. most everyone) Andrew Gallatin and
I have been working on the Alpha SMP code originally submitted by dfr and now
have it up to single user mode on both a dual CPU 4100 and 2100.  My latest
patch can be found at http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/alpha.smp.patch, but
it is now out of date as I've been committing parts of it.  Drew has some
slightly different code so we will need to resolve the conflicts and get it
committed.  There is still some work needed in the floating point area before
we can get multiuser working, however.
