If that is true, then there is some bug in the kconfig parser. 
PM_SLEEP_SMP depends on PM_SLEEP, so with PM_SLEEP=n it should never be 
set.

That said, regardless of any such problems, I do think that we should 
think about splitting up HOTPLUG_CPU into two config options: one that 
allows CPU's to be put to sleep (which is common, and needed for any 
suspend/hibernate support), and one that actually has support for actual 
physical hotplugging.
