hm, interesting.
but unfortunately the cpuset have more than depend.(i.e. CONFIG_SMP)

To more bad thing, some embedded cpu have poor or no atomic instruction
support.
at that, turn on CONFIG_SMP become large performace regression ;)


I am not already embedded engineer.
thus, I might have made a mistake.
(BTW: I am large server engineer now)

but no thinking dependency is wrong, may be.


Pavel, what do you think it?
