Well, it does work. Right now if we enable multiple CPU's with SMPng the
machine instantly panics, so we use a sysctl that keeps all the extra
processors waiting until we are ready to kill the machine. Until that
point in time, however, the machine runs happily on 1 cpu, and can build
world ok, etc.
