MP Build... FYI

[Mary Lou Jepsen]

We are putting on three builds tomorrow

MP quanta standard test build
MP suspend/resume 24 hour test
MP ship build (need to de-activate, after allowing activation for
above).

also 624 and 625 wake up on a network ping - and not 623 - which may be
the best candidate for MP ship build.
