[2.6 patch] remove Documentation/smp.txt

[2.6 patch] remove Documentation/smp.txt

[Adrian Bunk]

After seeing the filename I'd have expected something about the 
implementation of SMP in the Linux kernel - not some notes on kernel 
configuration and building trivialities noone would search at this 
place.

The Compaqs mentioned are preventium era so should all be long gone
from the mainstream
