I thought about it, and left it as the way it is to have a consistent format
between UP and SMP.  With most of the modern cpus being multicore, or headed
that way, and since the entire timestamp prefix  can be controlled by a boot
option, is it worth having different formats for UP and SMP?  Most distros
ship SMP kernels anyways.
