Subject[rfc] x86_64: Kconfig changes for NUMA
On x86_64 arches, there is no way to choose ACPI_NUMA without having to choose
K8_NUMA. CONFIG_K8_NUMA is not needed for Intel EM64T NUMA boxes. It also
looks odd if you have to select ACPI_NUMA from the power management menu.
This patch fixes those oddities. Patch does the following:

1. Makes NUMA a config option like other arches
2. Makes topology detection options like K8_NUMA dependent on NUMA
3. Choosing ACPI NUMA detection can be done from the standard
"Processor type and features" menu

Comments?

Thanks,
Kiran
