SMP initialization is quite simple, usuallu u have initialization code for boot processor and other initialization code for other processors.

I mean a very general things, i.e. how microkernel init subsystems, load and run services from grub etc ... > And processor level > datastructures - like the GDT, PD etc It mostly generic too.
