[PATCH] change CONFIG_NUMA description

From: KOSAKI Motohiro
Date: Tue Nov 04 2008 - 12:27:32 EST



CONFIG_NUMA description talk about a bit old thing.
So, following changes are better.

o CONFIG_NUMA is no longer EXPERIMENTAL
o Opteron is not the only processor of NUMA topology on x86_64 no longer, but also Intel Core7i has it.

For 32-bit this is currently highly experimental and should be only
used for kernel development. It might also cause boot failures.
- For 64-bit this is recommended on all multiprocessor Opteron systems.
