Default configuration of PPC kernel

I had a look at the default config for the PPC kernel and saw that 
CONFIG_PREEMPT was not set. Me and some friends have tried that together with 
CONFIG_SMP for a while and it seems to work very well. I know that without 
CONFIG_SMP set the computer becomes unstable, but for some reason SMP fixes 
that. Can be a good thing for the future, makes big difference under heavy 
I/O usage.
