It's great to see that someone is working on it.
You are the man.

Subject: Re: smp dev

Im in a group that is trying to do this for our school project. We list
things we did or find interesting on www.spinlocks.org

We beleive we have finished off making the scheduler, kernel and
interrupts spin-locked (mostly by looking at netbsd) but we probably
have
a ton of work to do for pmap and some locore stuff.

If you are very serious about working on it we could provide you with
read
only cvs access and we'd be gratefull if you let us know if you make
progress in areas we havent reached yet.

The learning curve is steep, but, like many 'holier than thou' openbsd
projects, you just need to kludge the netbsd solution into the openbsd
source.

cheers,
