It isn't completely up-to date, as it covers FreeBSD 5, but 5 marked the
introduction of the smp-ng code, so it is not hugely incorrect. I
recently acquired it and am finding it very useful and informative.

According to George V. Neville-Neil yes it is, I asked him that exact

FWIW there has been rumours about the next edition of this book covering
a recenter version.  That's all I know :).

Third iirc. ISBN 0201549794 was the first, although with a slightly 
different name.
