I don't recall being offered an SMP box, but perhaps you're
talking about the kernel hackers (mostly David & Julian).

Yes, KSE is relatively new, but it has been in the
tree for a while now.  You can't expect the KSE guys
to be knowledgeable in all the archs.  For someone
that is, though, it should be very easy.  Adding support
for KSE really, really, pales in comparison to the
kernel MD bits.

I think putting the onus on us for all the archs
is a little unfair.  We are more than happy to do
some of the work and help guide others.
