Their logic (silly as it is) is that there is no such thing as a non-SMP kernel for ia32e (since it has hyperthreading) ... SO ... no need for an ia32e SMP and non-SMP kernel. So, for a reason that I am not possibly able to understand, they decided that the ia32e kernel would be compiled with SMP and not be labeled as SMP.

Wow, makes perfect sense. Ouch! My brain just popped a synapse.
