one line fix in arch/i386/Kconfig
RFC 1/1 one line fix in arch/i386/Kconfig
Hi all,
this is the first time I post a patch to the list, therefore I'm really not sure if it is correct, even if it is just a 'one line patch'
If I say that my cpu is not a PentiumIV why
he bothers me about "check for P4 thermal throttling interrupt." ?
This patch show that option only if you select that kind of CPU.
Is it correct ? Does it makes sense ?
Ciao,
Paolo

We want people to be able to build a kernel which will run on many systems but still use CPU specific features.

Because you might be compiling a kernel for a more baseline CPU, say a 486, but still check for thermal throttle if it's present.
