Linus Torvalds 5d272dd1b3 cpumask: limit FORCE_NR_CPUS to just the UP case 
Hardcoding the number of CPUs at compile time does improve code
generation, but if you get it wrong the result will be confusion.

We already limited this earlier to only "experts" (see commit
fe5759d5bf "cpumask: limit visibility of FORCE_NR_CPUS"), but with
distro kernel configs often having EXPERT enabled, that turns out to not
be much of a limit.

To quote the philosophers at Disney: "Everyone can be an expert. And
when everyone's an expert, no one will be".

There's a runtime warning if you then set nr_cpus to anything but the
forced number, but apparently that can be ignored too [1] and by then
it's pretty much too late anyway.

If we had some real way to limit this to "embedded only", maybe it would
be worth it, but let's see if anybody even notices that the option is
gone.  We need to simplify kernel configuration anyway.

bool "Generic bitfield packing and unpacking"

help
This option provides the packing() helper function, which permits
converting bitfields between a CPU-usable representation and a
memory representation that can have any combination of these quirks:
- Is little endian (bytes are reversed within a 32-bit group)
- The least-significant 32-bit word comes first (within a 64-bit
group)
- The most significant bit of a byte is at its right (bit 0 of a
register description is numerically 2^7).
Drivers may use these helpers to match the bit indices as described
in the data sheets of the peripherals they are in control of.
When in doubt, say N.

help
On some platforms where no separate I/O space exists, there are I/O
hosts which can not be accessed in MMIO mode. Using the logical PIO
mechanism, the host-local I/O resource can be mapped into system
logic PIO space shared with MMIO hosts, such as PCI/PCIe, then the
system can access the I/O devices with the mapped-logic PIO through
I/O accessors.
This way has relatively little I/O performance cost. Please make

help
Drivers may select this option to force specific constant
values for parameters 'm' (Galois field order) and 't'
(error correction capability). Those specific values must
be set by declaring default values for symbols BCH_CONST_M
and BCH_CONST_T.
Doing so will enable extra compiler optimizations,
improving encoding and decoding performance up to 2x for
usual (m,t) values (typically such that m*t < 200).
When this option is selected, the BCH library supports
only a single (m,t) configuration. This is mainly useful
for NAND flash board drivers requiring known, fixed BCH
parameters.

It only adds a little bit of code and slows kernel boot (or
module load) by a small amount, so you're welcome to play with
it, but you probably don't need it.
