SMP yes.  The non-benchmarked disks (which don't matter
say this at boot time:

scsi0:A:1:0: Tagged Queuing enabled.  Depth 4
(aic7xxx)

These config options on the non-benchmarked disks:
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_CMDS_PER_DEVICE=4
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_RESET_DELAY_MS=15000
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_DEBUG_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_DEBUG_MASK=0
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_REG_PRETTY_PRINT=y

----

The benchmarked disks are on scsi3 and scsi4.
The benchmarked disks do not tell what TCQ they have.

CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_ISP=y
CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_FC=y
CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_FC_FIRMWARE=y

TCQ on the benchmarked disks may be 1024...
+#define        MAXISPREQUEST(isp)      ((IS_FC(isp) || IS_ULTRA2(isp))? 1024 : 256)

but that's just a guess.
