This is the only CONFIGURE_SMP_* option left, a category should consist 
of more than one member. The current pattern for the maximum defines is 
CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM[_CATEGORY]_*. A CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_SMP_PROCESSORS is 
not really that great.

In general I agree, however, SMP or non-SMP shouldn't be a category for 
the configuration. I think its like CONFIGURE_TICKS_PER_TIMESLICE or 
CONFIGURE_MICROSECONDS_PER_TICK a configuration option that sets up your 
application environment.
