Only note I have (patch looks great!) is that instead of removing SMP, you 
probably want to say that 'options SMP' should be added to include support 
for multiple processors.  Note that SMP is present in GENERIC on other 
architectures such as Alpha and sparc64.  There is also an 'SMP' kernel 
config for i386 and amd64.
