2.0? No. -current? Good, yep and yep. I think one processor gets too many
interrupts and doesn't sleep enough, but I can only give anecdotal evidence
of this. I've been using the single processor GENERIC kernel while
rewriting the if_mc.c dbdma interface, and my 7300 with Daystar 180MP card
is much, much quieter without the second CPU spun up.
