+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Not-for-merge: ARM: config: omap: Disable SMP for AM335x
+ build
+
+SMP and SMP_ON_UP introduces some extra barriers and code many fast paths
+including kernel lock functions.
+
+Performance sensitive usecases like networking gets impacted because of this.
+In typical production kernel which is targeted for single core device
+like AM335x family, you don't want to take this hit.
+
+Ideally one should just create a device specific config feed as done by all
+typical distro's. Other option is to apply this specifically during build
+time using recipe.
+
+Whichever option, one definitely don't want this overhead for performance
+critical usecases.
+
+Disabling SMP in the build introduces one warining in cpuidle44xx.c driver
+and fix is included in the series
