Interestingly that text dates back to a modification for 2.6.14-rc5 back in 2005: http://osdir.com/ml/linux.ports.x86-64.general/2005-10/msg00140.html with a comment that says: # CONFIG_K8_NUMA is not needed for Intel EM64T NUMA boxes So either this was in the early days of CSI, or there are/were other Intel AMD64 NUMA boxes out there that none of us know about.. cheers!
