:How about DragonFly PF & SMP?

    Most of our kernel is still under the BGL, and its going to stay that
    way at least until after the 1:1 threading work is finished, and
    probably a good chunk of the syslink work too.

    There has been progress around the edges.  e.g. the file descriptor
    and file pointer subsystems are MP safe now, NETIF devices are
    protected by their own serializer, the route table is per-cpu, and 
    a few other things.
