[2.6 patch] i386 APIC Kconfig cleanups

From: Adrian Bunk
Date: Sun Jan 23 2005 - 05:47:08 EST


This patch contains the following changes to arch/i386/Kconfig:
- update the X86_UP_APIC and X86_UP_IOAPIC help texts:
- in the SMP case, these options are not visible
- today, it's no longer only "a small number of uniprocessor systems"
that have an IO-APIC
- there were two X86_LOCAL_APIC and two X86_IO_APIC options -
in both cases, merge them
- move X86_VISWS_APIC to the other APIC options

Please review this patch (it shouldn't have any visible effects).
