No, I don't assume that. My reasoning is more like: this is one of those
seldom tested code paths; why can't there be a single source for UP/MP x86? 
What disadvantages -- if any -- there are for UP running MULTIPROCESSOR?
Is it worth to compile non-MULTIPROCESSOR kernel for UP systems, and why?
Are there any reliability concerns involved in doing that?
