[PATCH 2/2] x86/Kconfig: deprecate DISCONTIGMEM support for 32-bit

From: Mike Rapoport
Date: Wed Apr 24 2019 - 09:24:35 EST


Mel Gorman says:
32-bit NUMA systems should be non-existent in practice. The last NUMA
system I'm aware of that was both NUMA and 32-bit only died somewhere
between 2004 and 2007. If someone is running a 64-bit capable system in
32-bit mode with NUMA, they really are just punishing themselves for fun.

Mark DISCONTIGMEM broken for now and remove it in a couple of releases.
