I thought viper was some kind of real-time Linux but I could and
probably am totally wrong on that.  SMP support for intel hardware
has been around for a while in the 1.3.x kernels.  I have the
source to 1.3.47 right now and there are two files you can read:

/usr/src/linux/Documentation lsl | grep -i smp
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         1020 Nov 14 09:03 SMP.txt
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        17826 Oct 10 09:45 smp.ez
