It's already available from the list of kernels to install, I'm not
sure if it's a good idea to make it the default. The performance hit
is noticeable on UP machines. Ideally sysinst should be able to make
SMP or UP the default after detecting the number of CPU, but that's
another story.

I intend to get these in netbsd-4. But I have some more changes to do to the
iso build infrastructure first.
