That's correct; there is no multicore support in the existing stable OCaml, and 
although it is possible to run multiple independent runtimes in a single 
unikernel, we have not implemented this.

Multicore OCaml is being actively developed by the OCaml Labs group in 
Cambridge. Check out recent activity here:
http://ocamllabs.io/doc/multicore.html

There should be a workable system this year sometime, and I imagine MirageOS 
support will follow that...
