Now that -current has the "magic" to allow smp-enabled kernels to run on =
uni
machines, would it be possible to allow DEVICE_POLLING be built into an =
smp
kernel; but have the relevant sysctl's default to disabled ? That way we
could use polling on non-smp boxes and still only have to maintain one =
kernel
config ?

Thanks in advance.
