I'm not sure, maybe, there's not that many of them, but possibly we add
another interface for them.

It's never been a problem, and aside from these few straggler threads,
everybody has effectively been there already for years, so if it were a
problem someone would've complained by now.

Also; like said before, the admin had better configure.

Also also, RR-SMP is actually broken (and nobody has cared enough to
bother fixing it).
