Bill,
The hardware changed and the interrupt parser feature that stablized the old chipsets under SMP is gone. The new chipsets (20268 and above) do not have a location with sticky bits. So in some cases I expect things to go south, but in general they should not. Otherwise promise would be all over the issue.
Cheers,
