You can.  There is a "C" column in the output of top, indicating which 
process runs in which CPU.
Your dmesg already shows all your CPUs are activated.

In 6.X versions, there were two different GENERIC kernels, one for SMP, 
the other for single CPU. Starting with 7.0, there is only one GENERIC 
kernel that supports both SMP and single processor systems. AFAIK, in 
7.0 using an SMP-enabled kernel in a single CPU system does not 
introduce any real performance penalty, so no need to recompile just for 
this.
