   dists/sid/linux-2.6.16/debian/arch/ia64/config.mckinley
Modified:

   dists/sid/linux-2.6.16/debian/changelog

Log:
* [ia64] Drop the non-SMP flavours; they are not well maintained upstream.
  Note that the non-SMP flavours have been identical to the SMP builds
  since 2.6.13-1; this was to avoid having to drop then re-add these
  flavours if upstream resolved the issue - but that never happened.
  Note that this is a measurable performance penalty on non-SMP systems.
