'device apic' required for SMP kernel?

[Ernst de Haan]

Hi,


According to the Handbook, section 8.4:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ 
kernelconfig-config.html

the 'device apic' option is required for SMP-kernels.

However:
1. the GENERIC kernel config does not include this option;
2. nor does the SMP kernel config;
3. my system works with a kernel config based on GENERIC+SMP, without  
this options, so it seems to be optional.

My suggestion is to clarify the text in the Handbook.

Cheers,


Ernst
