Do not forget about the patch for FPU context switching in SMP I posted 
last month.

Without the patch,  I am able to reproduce unexpected FP exceptions in 
linker (ld) during the SMP compilation (make -j3 on 2-way SS20). With 
the patch they are gone. I found it in the 2.4 kernel, but the buggy 
code is the same in 2.4 and 2.6 so I suspect that 2.6 needs it too.

It is maybe not so critical now, but it definitely adds to stability of 
32-bit SPARC SMP.

Krzysztof
