i'm not member of every ml but i know efnet/#bsdmips irc channel has knowi=
ng people in it, should you have time to dev this

possibly same or other people read it here

i looked into commit logs and found nothing on cix p1, except false positi=
ves on pcix

also found <https://wiki=2Efreebsd=2Eorg/Scheduler/Hybrid> but can't comme=
nt much about stuff written in it

to me it looks more like that this subproject is in some pre-code stage=2E=
 hopefully it didn't just fizzle out

basically we need user, tester, and dev=2E can you be all of those 3 or ju=
st 2 first parts?

i, most of time, am the first 2

those are my observations so far about assymetric multiprocessing on freeb=
