4.8-RELEASE, Ultra320 and SMP

[nicholas harteau]

I'm running some brand new Dell 2650s with both single
processor/hyperthreaded Xeons and dual processor/hyperthreaded Xeons (4
logical processors total) with U320 drives via the aac/PERC driver.  I
guess this doesn't technically count as U320, as the hardware raid
controller masks this from the OS.

However, the machines have been running fine on 4.8-RELEASE-p10
