From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 01:42:59 +0000 (-0800) Subject: [PATCH] uml: arch Kconfig menu cleanups X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ce2d2aedcc3ca582fed90f44970e8b3e4f006a7d;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git [PATCH] uml: arch Kconfig menu cleanups *) mark as "EXPERIMENTAL" various items that either aren't very stable or that are actively crashing the setup of users which don't really need them (i.e. HIGHMEM and 3-level pagetables on x86 - nobody needs either, everybody reports "I'm using it and getting trouble"). *) move net/Kconfig near to the rest of network configurations, and drivers/block/Kconfig near "Block layer" submenu. *) it's useless and doesn't work well to force NETDEVICES on and to disable the prompt like it's done. Better remove the attempt, and change that to a simple "default y if UML". *) drop the warning about "report problems about HPPFS" - it's redundant anyway, as that's the usual procedure, and HPPFS users are especially technical (i.e. they know reporting bugs is _good_).
