[PATCH] uml: mark SMP on UML/x86_64 as broken
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Noticed by Al Viro <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> - SMP on x86_64 is
fundamentally broken due to UML's reuse of the host arch's percpu stuff.  This
is OK on x86, but the x86_64 pda stuff just won't work for UML.

This option enables UML SMP support.
It is NOT related to having a real SMP box. Not directly, at least.
