I took the configuration file I had for the SMP case (located in the same
directory in the git repository), disabled SMP, and ran "make savedefconfig".
"old" is relative in this context; I don't usually create new configuration
files for each new kernel release, so, yes, you could say that the file
I used is "old".

CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC is enabled. Keep in mind this is a configuration file
created with "make savedefconfig", so default settings are not included.
Correct, CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC is not enabled, but that is not really surprising
since its dependencies are not met as far as I can see.

Overall, I am not sure I understand what you are trying to say. X86_IO_APIC
depends on X86_64 (not set) or SMP (not set) or X86_32_NON_STANDARD (not set)
or X86_UP_IOAPIC (not set because it depends on X86_UP_APIC which depends on
!PCI_MSI).

Does that mean that I'll have to disable PCI_MSI to get x86 uniprocessor
support to work after your patch ?

Thanks,
Guenter
