Is the only SMP issue with the MOL kernel modules? Are there any
issues with the multiple MOL user processes running concurrently
on different processors? I had asked this earlier but didn't get
any reply. If not, that's one less thing to worry about anyway.
But if there is, I had wondered before if there was any system call
to lock down the MOL user processes to a single processor.
