Subject: [PATCH] i386, x86-64: show that CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is required for suspend on SMP
Date: Sun, 20 May 2007 21:29:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200705202129.27170.rjw@sisk.pl> (raw)

From: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

It's not sufficiently documented that CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is required for
suspend/hibernation on SMP.

Point out the non-obvious.
