Description Joel Dahl 2004-11-02 18:40:29 UTC
[1] Update the weak description of ADAPTIVE_GIANT.

[2] Option SMP was removed from GENERIC in RELENG_5 and RELENG_5_3, so it
    should probably be removed here as well.

[3] Update description for apic since SMP is gone.

[4] Device hptmv now ships with RELENG_5 and RELENG_5_3, but it's missing
    in here, so let's add it.

See attached patch for suggested corrections.

Only note I have (patch looks great!) is that instead of removing SMP, you 
probably want to say that 'options SMP' should be added to include support 
for multiple processors.  Note that SMP is present in GENERIC on other 
architectures such as Alpha and sparc64.  There is also an 'SMP' kernel 
config for i386 and amd64.

I've attached an updated patch that includes your suggestion, and I've
improved the description of ADAPTIVE_GIANT. Thanks.
