Hi,

I am close to finishing the removal of the giant lock on regular (ie 
non-FAST) INTerrupts.  This is likely to cause some new bugs during its 
shakeout period.

Recent reports are that the current SMP code is fairly stable (except for
that Fatal trap 12 problem).  So it might be a good time to update.
In particular the current code seems to be a big win for sio and IDE.
