For the i386: I'm working on that one (and some other people have at least
plans to work on it). I'd hoped to do a lot during the holiday season, but that
fell through. As soon as there's code that is usable (implementing the
the first step of having only one processor active in the kernel), it'll
probably be made available in some way. I can't give any dates here, though.
