* NetBSD/vax now runs multicpu

Anders Magnusson got his VAX 8350 to use all three processors.
of the code is in the source tree already, the rest will undergo
a bit more cleanup and polishing, and will then be committed to
the development branch, NetBSD-current.

The VAX 8350 system is probably the slowest multiprocessor system
that NetBSD will ever support; each CPU does about 2VUPS (~2MIPS).
Note that the 8350 normally only has two CPUs, the third one was
plugged in for testing purpose. 

It shouldn't be too hard to make NetBSD/vax running on some funnier
machines, like the 8800, which has two 6VUPS KA88 CPUs, and the
6000 series, which can take up to six CPUs with upto 32VUPS
altogether.  Stay tuned!

For curious parties, there's a dmesg(8) and top(1) output below,
note the "3 on processor" in top(1) output. Also, for all the youth
out there spoiled by workstations and PCs, here are a few pictures
showing what a /real/ computer looks like:

Here's a VAX8800 (the four rightmost sections with brown top):

Here's the 8350 Anders has been working with:

This is a 6000, merely a 6320 (two CPUs, 4 VUPS each):
