MIPS: Kconfig: Fix and clarify kconfig help text for VSMP and SMTC.
Only VSMP was known as SMVP and generally the help text was too short to be helpful. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Virtual SMP uses the processor's VPEs to implement virtual
|
||||||
|
processors. In currently available configuration of the 34K processor
|
||||||
|
this allows for a dual processor. Both processors will share the same
|
||||||
|
primary caches; each will obtain the half of the TLB for it's own
|
||||||
|
exclusive use. For a layman this model can be described as similar to
|
||||||
|
what Intel calls Hyperthreading.

On currently available 34K processors this means a Linux system will
|
||||||
|
see up to 5 processors. The implementation of the SMTC kernel differs
|
||||||
|
significantly from VSMP and cannot efficiently coexist in the same
|
||||||
|
kernel binary so the choice between VSMP and SMTC is a compile time
|
||||||
|
decision.
