[ale] SMP support for CentOS 4.0 i386

[dchambers at bugfixer.net (Denny Chambers)]

CentOS is compiled from RHEL source. That source is still GPL. I can't 
see how RH can enforce something like that on the license. It could be 
possible that Redhat has changed the kernel code in such a way, to only 
use at most twoCPUs, but if that were the case nothing would prevent you 
from changing it back. I know the guys over at http://www.openfiler.org 
use CentOS as there base distribution for the OpenFiler project, you may 
want to ask those guys this question, they would probably know.

Unix IS user friendly - it's just picky about it's friends.
