By the way, as far as I know, FreeBSD already runs on machines with a
non-power-of-two number of cores:
- The AMD Opteron architecture supports an arbitrary number of cores in
a HyperTransport ring; there are triple-socket Opteron motherboards,
and AMD is expected to launch a triple-core Phenom this quarter.
- The Sun UltraSPARC T1 (which runs FreeBSD/sun4v) is available with
four, six and eight physical cores, each with four concurrent
execution threads, giving a total of sixteen, twenty-four or
thirty-two logical cores.

We also have run extensively on sparc e4500 systems with random numbers
of CPUs like 10, 12, and 14.
