I'm using Ben H's tree, but I was using the bk tree until it stopped being
available from penguinppc.org. (Why did that happen, anyway?)

I get lots of messages from the kernel about spinlocks on my quad SMP
PPC604 mac clone. It also locks hard sometimes. This is why I haven't made
it my main workstation yet :( I haven't had time for kernel hacking, but
hopefully that'll change now that I've convinced my university to give me a
degree :)

2.2 won't do SMP on my machine.
