I like to keep those files reasonably in sync with Linux, and prefer to 
do that with 'big bang' re-sync every one in a while. I don't see that 
patch in 2.6.13.1, and I'm wary about applying it until I see it in a 
mainline kernel.org kernel. In any case, the drawback of not applying 
right now is simply that bigsmp systems need bigsmp added to the boot 
line, which isn;t too much of a hardship for the very few users it 
affects. Probably I'll do another big re-sync with 2.6.14, and 
presumably that will get us the auto-bigsmp patch at the same time.
