You might like to consider improving the x86-SMP support. Currently
there is no one maintaining it, so there is some maintenance work to
do such as [1], and there may be some improvement as well in the
interrupt handling. This would require some x86 assembly if you know
it or are comfortable learning it.

You could also look into extending the existing SMP support to other
BSPs in SPARC, ARM, or PowerPC, or in porting another architecture to
SMP.

There continues to be a lot of ongoing SMP work documented here [2].
You may like to browse the list and ask if any of those are possibly
good options.
