From: "Steven J. Hill" <Steven.Hill@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch accomplishes the following: * Clean up wording on all MIPS MT configuration menu items. * Simplify and neaten up options selected by MIPS_MT_SMP. * Make MIPS_MT_SMTC support as deprecated. * Make MIPS_CMP support to depend on MIPS_MT_SMP also. * Remove redundant options selected by MIPS_CMP.
