[PATCH -v2 1/2] ACPI, APEI, Make APEI core configurable built-in instead of module
From: Huang Ying
Date: Wed Mar 10 2010 - 21:19:01 EST
PCIE AER optionally depends on APEI HEST tabling parsing. If AER is
built-in, HEST should be built-in or not configured at all instead of
module. It is hard to express this elegantly in Kconfig. It is better
to make APEI code part configurable built-in instead of module.
On the other hand, APEI core code is used for hardware error
processing. It may run in very bad condition. It is reasonable to keep
it built-in if enabled.
