Why wishlist?
severity 611456 important
Why downgrading this bug report to a wishlist? Due to lack of support
for multiple cores?? Take a look at the output of x86info for a
GNU/Linux box with dual cores, especially the last lines! This bug is
important due to the support of a new architecture and a patch and from
what I've learned regarding severity levels it is important! Prove me
wrong and I'll concur.

Which are your arguments for kfreebsd, which is one of the
supported architectures of x86info?
Under GNU/Linux:
x86info v1.25. Dave Jones 2001-2009
