Hi Jean, is it really impossible to default to "on" - surprizes me? For example, in the filesystem section, once the "advancend partition type support" group of options is selected, it comes up with MS-DOS partition table support defaulting to "on". This is all determined by arch/*/defconfig. I believe we could do just the same thing for FAST_RR (and probably CACHE_LAST_LSAP) - the only point is it has to be done for all arch's (and some like arm have quite a long list of different such defconfig's) and I'm not sure, who maintains this: probably ESR, but might be individual arch maintainers as well. Anyway, for i386 the patch below would do the job. Of course it does only help, when starting from distclean (or mrproper) tree. When using make oldconfig with disabled FAST_RR in existing .config, it remains off. Finally, my impression is the important issue might be to make distributions ship with this stuff "on".
