The problem is that this is not a SMP server as the world defines SMP.  I have
not looked
at it closely, but in the past, such machines from IBM were based on a
message-passing
architecture rather than shared memory.  Whether this machine fits that
description or
whether it is another NUMA system is something I'll try to look into and post a
follow-up
here...
