See > http://tree.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/ELC2006Presentations?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=CELF_SMTC_April_2006_v0.3.pdf The help text provided for the MIPS_MT_SMP (VSMP) and MIPS_MT_SMTC options didn't make it easier to understand what SMTC is by incorrectly stating that MIPS marketing had renamed both to SMVP. I used the opportunity to rewrite the help text and slightly polish http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/SMTC#SMTC Ralf
