It looks like nobody else has brought it up yet this month, so...

I just built a kernel with "options MULTIPROCESSOR" and tried booting it on
a dual G4/450 (Gigabit Ethernet).  It fails _real_ early (just prints out
the loading sizes and "start=0x100000" and hangs), so I'm guessing the
pieces aren't in place yet.

Is anybody working on support for modern dual-processor machines?  I
understand some support for the old Daystar duals was committed a while ago,
but the old Daystar architecture was pretty different from the dual G4s.
