No, it's called "Linux v1.3.58". Or any of the 1.3.5x series will do.

SMP is part of the mainstream kernel. You have to explicitly enable it
(and no, it is NOT in the "make config" bit, you have to edit the Makefile),
and it seems it isn't 100% stable yet, but from the look of recent patches,
it is pretty close.
