Although many developers at SGI use SN-specific configuration files,
customers run SuSE & RH and use kernels built with the GENERIC config
since the kernel binary runs on all hardware vendors platforms.
It is important to make the default config file run efficiently
on all platforms.
I haven't looked in detail at SPARSEMEM recently - is one config
file for ALL hardware platforms easy to do without significantly
compromising performance of any individual platform?
