the definition of hard_smp_processor_id linux/smp.h to asm/smp.h
for UP systems. This causes a regression on Alpha.

but with the spec file change so that we can run the kernel on an FC4
system.

It is configurable to any workload but the default -ck patch is aimed at the
desktop and -cks is available with more emphasis on serverspace.
