Last I checked, MontaVista was still hawking a 2.6.10 kernel.  If that
is still the case, you're going to find that there is little this list
will do for you.  You need to work with MV and TI on this.

Still, the question of SMP is simple to answer.  You'll need a
complete OS for each CPU.  I know of no SMP support available for the
ARM9's becase there would have to be logic for synchronizing caches.

Cheers.
