Subject: [2.6 patch] i386 APIC Kconfig cleanups
Date: Sun, 21 Nov 2004 18:31:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041121173128.GA2924@stusta.de> (raw)
The patch below contains the following changes to arch/i386/Kconfig:
- update the X86_UP_APIC and X86_UP_IOAPIC help texts:
- in the SMP case, these options are not visible
- today, it's no longer only "a small number of uniprocessor systems"
that have an IO-APIC
- there were two X86_LOCAL_APIC and two X86_IO_APIC options -
in both cases, merge them
- move X86_VISWS_APIC to the other APIC options
Please review this patch (it shouldn't have any visible effects).
