No asm/smp.h == no compile

I just tried to compile 1.3.75 for the alpha. It dies right off because
kernel/sched.c tries to include asm/smp.h which does not exist. I suppose
that the easiest fix would be to add a few #ifdefs to the kernel, but
how about a more innovative fix. Like shipping a multiprocessor machine
to Helsinki (Maddog?). Actually, now that I think about it, I don't know
that anyone makes a low-end AXP based system. Does anyone know?

Another point of interest. I heard a rumor that Linus was going to do the
UltraSparc port. If this is true, will he be the only person who has ported
a 64 bit OS to more than 1 architecture?
