So I was looking at a patch for ACPI_SLEEP that went around a moment ago,
and ended up doing a 'make menuconfig'.

I do a '/ACPI_SLEEP' inside that, and I get this output:

x Symbol: ACPI_SLEEP [=n] x
x Prompt: Sleep States x
x Defined at drivers/acpi/Kconfig:49 x
x Depends on: !X86_NUMAQ && !X86_VISWS && !IA64_HP_SIM && (IA64 || X86) x
x Location: x
x -> Power management options x
x -> Power Management support (PM [=y]) x
x -> ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support x
x -> ACPI Support (ACPI [=y])

Only problem is that drivers/acpi/Kconfig:49 says:

config ACPI_SLEEP
bool "Sleep States"
depends on X86 && (!SMP || SUSPEND_SMP)
depends on PM
default y

Can somebody explain why I'm seeing the different Depends on in the two places?
