Comment 9 for bug 446480

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the config review. The two config options you'd specifically pointed out in comment #1 are currently enabled in the actively developed Maverick kernel:

ogasawara@emiko:~/ubuntu-maverick/debian.master/config$ grep -rn "X86_MCE=" *
config.common.ubuntu:4686:CONFIG_X86_MCE=y

ogasawara@emiko:~/ubuntu-maverick/debian.master/config$ grep -rn "X86_PAT" *
config.common.ubuntu:4698:CONFIG_X86_PAT=y

Seeing as this was a config evaluation targeted for Karmic, and we're now actively focusing on Maverick, it seems this review might actually be a bit dated now. Additionally, we typically require a justification for each config change, much like you did for justifying the changes for X86_MCE and X86_PAT in comments #2 and #3. If any changes are still critically important to you, could you re-evaluate for Maverick, provide a proper justification, and file them as separate bugs? I suspect this original request for config changes will not qualify for SRU for Karmic and Lucid. Note that we prefer to make config changes early in the dev cycle (ie right now) to get as much testing as possible and avoid potential for regressions later on. I'm also going to remove this from the the Maverick config blueprint for the time being. Thanks.
