  Linux does indeed run SMP on sparc.  I've run it on ss10, ss20, and 4/600, on
everything from SM41 to dual HyperSPARCs.  Be careful with the SM100, or better
yet, avoid it altogether.

  If you're running two SMx1 modules, you *can* mix clock speeds, despite the
documentation and conventional wisdom.  It works fine.
