hugemem? smp?

[chuck lawrence]

thanks to good-hearted folks here, I've been using the hugemem kernel to 
address 8gb of ram on my dual opteron rh es 3.0 servers.

one user has reported that the cpu load balancing seems different on 
these, compared to other servers with generic kernels (and less ram). 
in particular, he says the hugemem systems pile more processes onto the 
first processor, before moving on to the 2nd.

is hugemem multi-processor by default?  is there something else I should do?
