So a user who will only Run this kernel on a PIII for example, doesn't need to select *any* other kernels at all? I think the Kconfig help screens need to be redone to make this clear.
I enabled all the sub-processors because I wanted to make sure my kernel would boot no matter what. It seems like I don't need that any more, right?
