Note that the SMT-centric codepaths are gated by the sched_smt_present static key, and the SMT sched_domains will only survive if the platform has SMT. As such, the only impact on !SMT platforms should be a slightly bigger kernel - no behavioural change. Distro kernels already enable it, which makes sense since there already are things like ThunderX2 out in the wild. Enable it for the defconfig.
