This isn't a very good commit message.  Commits communicate things
going forward.  A follow-up E-Mail CCing JC would have been a good way
to chat with him about its completeness.  More importantly, though,
there's just no description of the contents.  This is particularly
frustrating as it's also not broken up into functional chunks very
well.  Given the fact that there are MI changes and pan-MIPS changes
here it would be nice to see a little more care taken.  The changes to
the MIPS MP code, for instance, I thought we had discussed and decided
were sub-par and easily made less invasive.  I can't comment on the
RMI-specific stuff except to say that it's an unenumerated jumble of
VM, networking and SMP changes.
