+ * WARN_ON_SMP() is for cases that the warning is either
+ * meaningless for !SMP or may even cause failures.
+ * This is usually used for cases that we have
+ * WARN_ON(!spin_is_locked(&lock)) checks, as spin_is_locked()
+ * returns 0 for uniprocessor settings.
+ * It can also be used with values that are only defined
+ * on SMP:
+ *
+ * struct foo {
+ *  [...]
+ * #ifdef CONFIG_SMP
+ *	int bar;
+ * #endif
+ * };
+ *
+ * void func(struct foo *zoot)
+ * {
+ *	WARN_ON_SMP(!zoot->bar);
+ *
+ * For CONFIG_SMP, WARN_ON_SMP() should act the same as WARN_ON(),
+ * and should be a nop and return false for uniprocessor.
+ *
+ * if (WARN_ON_SMP(x)) returns true only when CONFIG_SMP is set
+ * and x is true.
