device apic on a single processor machine

[Mike Tancsa]

When moving from RELENG_4 to RELENG_5, I noticed that in GENERIC, the options

options         SMP             # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
device          apic            # I/O APIC

are enabled by default.  Going forward, is this the best thing to leave in 
my  default kernel on a uniprocessor machine ? I am not using the ULE 
scheduler either and have hyperthreading disabled in the BIOS.

I did a search on google, and in 2003 it was said not to having either on a 
single processor machine but its not clear if this is no longer the case.
