Are these publicly available? I.e can we run ourselves these configurations under the virtualizer? I was going to apply this patch, but I'm not sure it's really useful to have a SMP and a non-SMP configuration for exactly the same platform. We typically don't have multiple configurations for the same platform: people can always go ahead and enable/disable whatever they want in the kernel configuration. What is the motivation for having both? Is the SMP-capable kernel not working on the non-SMP emulated hardware?
