No. Just no.".
There's several classic SMP machines that I would like to have a UNIX
for; well, I guess the Purdue-recipe dual-VAX isn't really SMP, but it
was still MP, and ran a modified BSD as designed. :)
Likewise, I'd like to have a sane UNIX for my VAXstation "3560".
There's no reason you couldn't have an SMP and a non-SMP kernel, even
using #define's, which couldn't be reasonably small.
