No, it works, it just forces me to use a configuration that I'm not 
personally interested in on that particular machine.

I tend to like using minimal kernels. I don't use modules on most of my 
machines, and I actually look over my config. Maybe I'm odd. But I think 
it's a good thing to let people decide what they want (and what they do 
_not_ want) in their kernels.

I think forcing people to use CPU_HOTPLUG is a mistake. There's a reason 
that existed as a config option. The ACPI changes basically mean that the 
whole CPU_HOTPLUG config option is totally pointless, because everybody is 
forced to have it.
