+ This is a kernel model which is known a VSMP but lately has been
+ marketesed into SMVP.
+ Virtual SMP uses the processor's VPEs to implement virtual
+ processors. In currently available configuration of the 34K processor
+ this allows for a dual processor. Both processors will share the same
+ primary caches; each will obtain the half of the TLB for it's own
+ exclusive use. For a layman this model can be described as similar to
+ what Intel calls Hyperthreading.
