As described in the posting that Magnus linked to, it seemed to me like the cleaner approach - if there is no need to link two CONFIG options, then don't. Perhaps someone wants to build a uni-processor (UP) kernel for other reasons, but still have it support running some stuff that depends on cpusets being present. But my vote on UP issues isn't worth much. This patch is no biggie to me either way. -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
