Or maybe I'm missing the point. I guess the linux-smp is supposed to be for "general" questions (i.e. Which Motherboard, How many cpu's, How to compile....) Whereas smpdev is for kernel/software development (i.e. Abysmal performance, /proc/smp, /proc/cpuinfo, Multiple UltraSparcs, Multiple PowerPC....) Is this correct? But what about "XXX seems to be broken with SMP, it used to work when 1 processor was running." type questions... it's kinda SMP development but it's also kinda general.
I'm going to subscribe to both and *expect* several cross posts. I would like just one, but I can live with both and just realize I'll see cross posts. I'll try to segragate my questions into their appropriate lists...
