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.
Indeed -- forced to have a feature that is applicable in reality to
0.00000001% of the user population, I'd wager :)
I read and hone my .config to utter minimalist perfection too :) So
count my vote here too, for -not- wanting CPU_HOTPLUG dead code in my
kernel.
