Thanks, I've added your Acked-by to the (fixed...) version of this commit.

Yeah, good catch! ...

I use defconfigs by explicitly adding in the architecture:

  kepler:~/tip> make ARCH=i386 defconfig

  kepler:~/tip> kconfig-arch
  i386

... so never I noticed this bug.

I fixed this in the latest version (attached).

Arguably 'make ARCH=i386 savedefconfig' should preserve this, so that 
refreshing defconfigs on bi-arch architectures is idempotent, but that's no 
excuse to regress the existing defconfig behavior.

Thanks,

	Ingo

Subject: [PATCH] x86/config: Make the x86 defconfigs a bit more usable

 - Use 'make savedefconfig' to refresh & regenerate the files
 - Add in KVM boot enablers
 - Enable the cgroup features most distros rely on

[ fix bug found by Nathan Chancellor ]
