[PATCH v1 2/2] x86: kconfig: remove X86_UP_APIC

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxx>

X86_UP_APIC is used for two reasons on 32-bit systems:

1) set a series of dependencies under which we would like
   to express we want X86_LOCAL_APIC enabled
2) under the above conditions if PCI_MSI is enabled always
   force X86_LOCAL_APIC to be enabled
3) Let users opt in or out of X86_LOCAL_APIC if PCI_MSI is
   not enabled

We don't really need a Kconfig entry to address 1) for 2) and 3)
as X86_LOCAL_APIC already has the dependencies which we wish to
match. Instead since 2) is desirable we can just select
X86_LOCAL_APIC on PCI_MSI and it will be enabled when the
dependencies are met. The only thing we loose with this then
is letting users elect to enable or not X86_LOCAL_APIC on
UP 32-bit systems but since:

a) enabling X86_LOCAL_APIC will in no way slow down your kernel
b) enabling X86_LOCAL_APIC only increases your kernel
   by 19264 bytes (19 KiB)
c) x86 is not in a state of flux

We can compromise here and just always enable X86_LOCAL_APIC
when PCI_MSI is enabled.

Using:

(a hacked up patch to enable X86_LOCAL_APIC any time)

export ARCH=i386
make allnoconfig
--> Enabling or disabling X86_LOCAL_APIC
make localyesconfig

With X86_LOCAL_APIC:
mcgrof@ergon ~/linux-next (git::master)$ du -b arch/x86/boot/bzImage
508496  arch/x86/boot/bzImage

With X86_LOCAL_APIC:
mcgrof@ergon ~/linux-next (git::master)$ du -b arch/x86/boot/bzImage
489232  arch/x86/boot/bzImage
