From: Geert Uytterhoeven <redacted> Documentation/powerpc/smp.txt is so outdated that it makes sense to just remove it.

The changes - necessary to work with any number would not be overly difficult but - I don't have any machines with >2 processors so it's not high on my - list of priorities. If anyone else would like do to the work email - me and I can point out the places that need changed. If you have >2 - processors and don't want to add support yourself let me know and I - can take a look into it. - - BeBox - BeBox support hasn't been added to the 2.1.X kernels from 2.0.X - but work is being done and SMP support for BeBox is in the works. - - CHRP - CHRP SMP works and is fairly solid. It's been tested on the IBM F50 - with 4 processors for quite some time now.
