Several bug fixes and a better patch.

SMP RT-Linux Intel 0.1 now available from http://luz.cs.nmt.edu/~rtlinux

This is a patch to Linux 2.1.42 that has been tested on a 2 processor
Pentium Pro system.

This should run all current RT-Linux applications.

The code is very un-optimized and contains too many
diagnostics but there is no detectable performance penalty.

Interrupts are processed on all processors, not just on processor 1 as
in the standard Intel Linux SMP.

All real-time tasks are currently run only on processor 1. This will
change soon.

Bug and performance reports please!
