Subject: Wrong defaults in 3.7-rc3

Hi!
Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (X86_SMAP) [Y/n/?] (NEW)
...Slows stuff down, eats memory, only works on unreleased Intel CPUs
(from 2013!) perhaps should be off by default?
"Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is a security
feature in newer Intel processors. There is a small
performance cost if this enabled and turned on; there is
also a small increase in the kernel size if this is enabled."
Perhaps help text should mention what processors support it?
DiBcom DiB0070 silicon base-band tuner (DVB_TUNER_DIB0070) [M/n/y/?]
(NEW) n
DiBcom DiB0090 silicon base-band tuner (DVB_TUNER_DIB0090) [M/n/y/?]
(NEW) n
M is never good config default.
Pavel
