FreeBSD-SA-05:09.htt in FreeBSD-6.0

Yesterday I made an update (cvsup) from my FreeBSD 5.4 to RELENG_6 - 
no big problems so far. 

Then I searched the knob to switch on hyperthreading on my P4. I was 
surprised, that it was already active, although I had 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-05:09.htt.asc
in my mind.

Now I see two possibilities:

1. The described problem does not affect the current 6.0/7.0 
codebase. In that case sorry for disturbing you. 

2. In 6.0/7.0 hyperthreading was left on, because it was a 
development branch only. In that case somebody should set the default 
switch to off before the 6.0-RELEASE (better before the next BETA 
version) and write a note in UPDATING.

Gruß,
   Frank
