But most of that will work well with SMP kernel on a single
processor/core. For multi-CPU machines (including multi-core and
hyper-threading) kernel boot options may be used to limit number of
logical CPU available for system. I think that should be enough to limit
mentioned problems, like UP kernel would limit them.
