@strong{WARNING: The SMP support in RTEMS 4.11 is highly experimental and
incomplete. Due to the use of the Giant lock and other implementation
shortcomings it is unsuitable for systems that need a predictable timing
behaviour. Some issues are already fixed in the development version of RTEMS
4.12. There are no plans to fix them in RTEMS 4.11. Before you start using
this RTEMS version for SMP ask on the RTEMS mailing list. The SMP support in
4.11 is good enough for simple demonstration purposes. It is work in progress
and a future version of RTEMS will provide proper SMP support.}
