I'm running SMP also (May 13 kernel).

$ ps ax | grep acpi
    5  ??  IL     0:00.00  (acpi_task0)
    6  ??  IL     0:00.00  (acpi_task1)
    7  ??  IL     0:00.00  (acpi_task2)
   20  ??  WL     0:00.00  (swi6: acpitaskq)
   22  ??  WL     0:00.00  (irq9: acpi0)

Unfortunately, I don't have enough devices in my system for the BIOS to
have to share IRQs.

I don't use modules, though.  Everything's linked directly into the
kernel.  I doubt that makes a difference.
