Hi.

I am just wondering why "options DEVICE_POLLING" is not possible with
a SMP-Kernel.
Well, i know that there is a workaround with
"/usr/src/sys/kern/kern_poll.c" which works perfectly building a SMP
Kernel with polling. 
My question is, are there any known problems with SMP+polling or why is
it not possible by default?
