Hi Fedora kernel team,
What possibility is there of enabling CONFIG_X86_NUMACHIP in the Fedora kernel, given it's been enabled in the CentOS Plus and Ubuntu kernels for a few years now?
This will allow booting Fedora on large-SMP NumaConnect systems and make Fedora a useful choice.
Many thanks! Daniel

Josh,
I can't see this being a problem in Fedora FWIW. ISTR looking at the driver for some reason a while ago and noting that the driver only initializes when finding a vendor specific entry in ACPI so it is no-op for 99.999999999% of our users.

My apologies for the delay. I've enabled this on rawhide now.

Many thanks Josh!
