And if your worry is about the code size (that the kernel scheduler always has the SMT-aware bits in it), I guess making it conditional should be backed by real usecase. The current situation is backed mostly by the fact that there is no known usecase that'd want it disabled, everybody we are aware of out there is enabling it. -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs
