I've removed a reference to "most personal computers" being singleprocessor machines in multiple arches' config help, and also brought the arch/arm spacing for "singleprocessor" (vs. "single processor" used there originally) in line with other arches that had that text. The diff is included below, and cleanly applies and builds on my system. I have not tested on other systems yet since a documentation fix shouldn't fail to build inconsistently, but if that's no excuse, I'll be happy to test further when I can. diff -uprN -X linux-vanilla/Documentation/dontdiff linux-vanilla/arch/alpha/Kconfig linux/arch/alpha/Kconfig --- linux-vanilla/arch/alpha/Kconfig 2013-12-22 18:03:11.881499508 +0000 +++ linux/arch/alpha/Kconfig 2013-12-22 17:58:31.448505765 +0000 @@ -539,8 +539,8 @@ config SMP depends on ALPHA_SABLE || ALPHA_LYNX || ALPHA_RAWHIDE || ALPHA_DP264 || ALPHA_WILDFIRE || ALPHA_TITAN || ALPHA_GENERIC || ALPHA_SHARK || ALPHA_MARVEL ---help--- This enables support for systems with more than one CPU.
