Subject: [PATCH] move CONFIG_HOTPLUG to kernel/Kconfig.hotplug
Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2004 01:57:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200402150157.05808.bzolnier@elka.pw.edu.pl> (raw)


I've also noticed that some archs (cris, h8300, m68k and sparc) don't
have HOTPLUG in their Kconfig files, shame on you - no udev for you 8).

BTW maybe HOTPLUG should be moved from "Bus options" to "General setup"?
