Hi,

I use Linux on MALTA board. My final goal is to port Linux on new board
based on MIPS. What is CONFIG_MIPS_MT_SMTC configuration and when is
this recommended to be used? 

Thanks,
Andrei

SMTC is a kernel for the 34K (and, just maybe, with some mods, 1004K) 
that turns TC microthreads into virtual SMP CPUs.  See

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
