No, I don't assume that. My reasoning is more like: this is one of those seldom tested code paths; why can't there be a single source for UP/MP x86? What disadvantages -- if any -- there are for UP running MULTIPROCESSOR? Is it worth to compile non-MULTIPROCESSOR kernel for UP systems, and why? Are there any reliability concerns involved in doing that? - Jukka.
