Subject: [rfc] x86_64: Kconfig changes for NUMA
Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2005 00:09:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051026070956.GA3561@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
On x86_64 arches, there is no way to choose ACPI_NUMA without having to choose
K8_NUMA. CONFIG_K8_NUMA is not needed for Intel EM64T NUMA boxes. It also
looks odd if you have to select ACPI_NUMA from the power management menu.
This patch fixes those oddities. Patch does the following:
1. Makes NUMA a config option like other arches
2. Makes topology detection options like K8_NUMA dependent on NUMA
3. Choosing ACPI NUMA detection can be done from the standard
"Processor type and features" menu
Comments?
Thanks,
Kiran
