Hi!

I have idea to provide in Th only SMP kernels.
Pro:
 - simplify kernel build process
 - simplify building kernel dependent packages (drivers, VMware,
VirtualBox, etc.)
 - unified kernel for support
 - full speed on most modern hardware (there is no possibility to
install by mistake UP kernel on SMP HW and get only part of CPU(s) speed)
 - It's working on UP HW too
 - Unnoticeable slowdown on UP hardware

Cons:
 - ? I have no idea what to put here :)

Comments?

Regards
	Artur
