[slackware-alphadevel] smp kernels

Is it possible to boot SMP kernels on one-processor machines and have
them function properly and all that? I just noticed big issues with the
modules when running under an SMP kernel after having been built on a
non-SMP kernel. On the other hand, I cannot build modules under an SMP
kernel that will work on non-SMP kernels. Confused yet?

Basically, I want to move all the kernels to SMP and build the modules
under that kernel. I just want to make sure there aren't going to be
major issues as a result.
