toggling smp clears x86_mce_p4thermal of make xconfig

Anybody here know how I find who on Earth cares:

> make xconfig ...
> "Processor type and features"
> "Symmetric multi-processing support" = No ...

Toggling CONFIG_SMP back and forth via xconfig may produce a third kind
of .config, because 2.6.0-test8 `make xconfig` neglects to restore the
defconfig choice:

CONFIG_X86_MCE_P4THERMAL=y.

This behaviour is at least as old as 2.6.0-test6. To see it, you have to
exit and relaunch make xconfig, you can't just toggle within make
xconfig.

linux-fsdevel noticed this in passing.
