SMP on OpenFirmware based PowerPC machines in-tree
There's more to SMP than just Intel- and -compatible machines.
PowerPC-hackers Tim Rightnour and Matt Thomas have added support for SMP on
OpenFirmware based PowerPC machines, i.e. the
NetBSD/ofppc port.
The support is already committed to the NetBSD-current source tree,
and Tim has posted
the dmesg output of a 4-CPU machine, an
IBM 7044-270.
He also notes that this is the first PowerPC machine with
four processors to ever run NetBSD.
