I'd prefer the trees to be separate for testing purposes: it
doens't make much sense to have SMP support as a normal
kernel feature when most people won't have SMP anyway"

Only in this case I can't help feeling that the virtualisation work
already bypassed C/R, solved the problem space that a lot of people care
about and then moved on.
