[rfc] x86_64: Kconfig changes for NUMA: msg#00133linux.ports.x86-64.general
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?
