SubjectDocumentation mismatch in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt
--- Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt ---
- input prompt: "prompt" <prompt> ["if" <expr>]
Every menu entry can have at most one prompt, which is used to display
to the user. Optionally dependencies only for this prompt can be added
with "if".
---

This is misleading, since the "if" will not affect only the prompt, but
also the config option.

Therefore I can't use
config SGI_IOC4
tristate
prompt "SGI IOC4 Base IO support" if PROMPT_FOR_UNUSED_CORES
depends on (IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2) && MMTIMER
default n

to hide this option unless PROMPT_FOR_UNUSED_CORES is selected.

Since the "if" is useless, misleading and redundand with this behaviour, I
suggest stripping it out.
