All of our x86 and x86_64 kernels are smp-aware, there is no separate
smp kernel, the same kernel is used for single-processor and
multi-processor systems.

In the past when we did have a separate kernel-smp package (actually, we
still do for ppc32), the 'smp' was inserted by part of the rpm build
process, it doesn't happen automagically, just because you enabled smp
in the kernel config.
