Are these publicly available? I.e can we run ourselves these
configurations under the virtualizer?

I was going to apply this patch, but I'm not sure it's really useful to
have a SMP and a non-SMP configuration for exactly the same platform.
We typically don't have multiple configurations for the same platform:
people can always go ahead and enable/disable whatever they want in the
kernel configuration.

What is the motivation for having both? Is the SMP-capable kernel not
working on the non-SMP emulated hardware?

Thanks,

Thomas
