1873dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
1874dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
1875dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
1876dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  binary size.  This might have some security advantages as well.

18895f054e31SRusty Russell	  Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and
18905f054e31SRusty Russell	  cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask
189198a79d6aSRusty Russell	  with all 1s, and others with all 0s.  When they were centralised,
189298a79d6aSRusty Russell	  it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
1893692105b8SMatt LaPlante	  and have several arch maintainers pursuing me down dark alleys.
