Huh, so the arm64 SCHED_{SMT,MC} configs are defaultless (I added SCHED_SMT
to arm64's defconfig not so long ago), but x86 has them default y, which
I'm thinking is a tad better, and would be nice to harmonize. Unfortunately
different architectures have their own dependency requirements - arm has
ARM_CPU_TOPOLOGY, parisc has PARISC_CPU_TOPOLOGY...

Would you hate making SCHED_* a "generic" config, with a common default and
help text, and punt the arch specific stuff to an ARCH_SUPPORTS_* knob?

Something like:

arch/arm/Kconfig:
  select ARCH_SUPPORTS_SCHED_MC if ARM_CPU_TOPOLOGY

init/Kconfig:
  config SCHED_MC
    def_bool y
    depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_SCHED_MC && SMP
