ISTR = I seem to recall
UP = UniProcessor (as opposed to SMP, Symmetric MultiProcessor)
UP kernels will work fine on machines with multiple CPUs, they just won't
initialize more than one. (I'm not well-versed in the electrical side of
it, but I suspect the non-active CPU might still use electricity. Minor
downside.)
