From 4a474157747ab7c4432ac269247e0e0e15f85584 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Graffham Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 15:55:29 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Kconfig: update flightly outdated CONFIG_SMP documentation Remove an outdated reference to "most personal computers" having only one CPU, and change the use of "singleprocessor" and "single processor" in CONFIG_SMP's documentation to "uniprocessor" across all arches where that documentation is present.
