Reducing the kernel size. Think of very high density virtualization (w/ specially stripped-down workloads) or embedded systems. For example, I'm running bare minimum kernels w/ only kvm and virtio (not even pci, etc) in such scenarios. Of course, that's nothing for an average distro, therefore leaving default y. --mtx > > I can think of a couple of reasons but maybe yours might not be the one > I'm thinking of. > >> Signed-off-by: Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult <info@metux.net> >> --- >> arch/x86/Kconfig | 7 +++++++ >> arch/x86/kernel/cpu/Makefile | 4 +++- >> arch/x86/kernel/cpu/hypervisor.c | 2 ++ >> drivers/input/mouse/Kconfig | 2 +- >> drivers/misc/Kconfig | 2 +- >> drivers/ptp/Kconfig | 2 +- >> 6 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) >> >> diff --git a/arch/x86/Kconfig b/arch/x86/Kconfig >> index f6946b81f74a..c227c1fa0091 100644 >> --- a/arch/x86/Kconfig >> +++ b/arch/x86/Kconfig >> @@ -801,6 +801,13 @@ config X86_HV_CALLBACK_VECTOR >> >> source "arch/x86/xen/Kconfig" >> >> +config VMWARE_GUEST >> + bool "Vmware Guest support" >> + default y > > depends on HYPERVISOR_GUEST.

Ok, pls put the reasoning for the change in the next revision's commit message along with how much KB savings we're talking about. Thx. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. https://people.kernel.org/tglx/notes-about-netiquette
