only one logical CPU used in Xeon

[Robert Heron]

Hyperthreading is enabled in BIOS, but the variable:

machdep.hyperthreading_allowed

is '0' by default in FreeBSD 6.2R :(((
I just changed it now to '1' and all cores in all CPUs started to  
work :)))

Very simple change and so much power more :)

Thanks a lot for this hint!!

Regards,
Robert
