First, I meant "MEMTEST86" (my apologies) which under Debian is packaged
in "hwtools" and so is trivial to retrieve.  As far as I know, it ignores
the additional processors and only tests the signal path from the first
processor to the memory.

I don't think this is a problem, since memory accesses physically go
through an arbiter.  The location of that chip is such that any problems
between it and the other processors will be conspicuous just by switching 
the whole operating system from non-SMP to SMP and back.  My $0.02
