CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP. Not trivial for a user to select it

appear either -- because CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU isn't selected.

so have something like

config ACPI_SLEEP
select HOTPLUG_CPU if X86 && SMP
select SUSPEND_SMP if X86 && SMP

instead of makeing it dependant on ACPI.

If more config options where better, then this
would indeed be an improvement over 2.6.22.
But more config options isn't better -- except for "some people":-)

coupling unrelated fetures togeather isn't better either.
