Surely NUMA should select SMP, not NUMA-Q?
NUMA depends on SMP.
Therefore, if you select NUMA, you have to ensure that SMP is enabled.
Yes. but that should link SMP -> NUMA -> NUMA-Q, not SMP directly to
NUMA-Q, surely?
NUMAQ can't be hidden since it doesn't has any dependencies.
And this isn't what this comment is talking about (note the the
comment is only shown if NUMAQ was already select'ed).
NUMAQ didn't fulfill the contract that when select'ing NUMA, it has to
ensure the dependencies of NUMA are fulfilled. My patch solves this
properly instead of telling the user through a comment that he ran into
this bug.
Yes, if that works, it's much cleaner. Perhaps we just had insufficient
config-fu to figure it out ... it looks good - I suppose I'd better test
it, and make sure we don't hit the same thing we did before.
