This may be a stupid question, but how much work will it take to support k7
SMP..... I understand that's it's based around the alpha processor bus but
that it uses x86 intstruction set. Will there be any trouble in supporting
k7 SMP? .... just asking in advance.... I plan on buying one shortly after
they are released.

just looked at the alpha/sys_dp264.c code. judging from the beginning
of this file SMP on EV6 isn't supported. So that'd go for K7 too i
guess.
