+Subject: [apm] default to "power_off" when SMP kernel is used on single processor machines
+Reference: SUSE221667
+
+This patch turns on support for the APM power_off function by default when the
+SMP kernel is used on single processor machines.
+
+It is a bit ugly to use a separate variable to make sure the default value is
+only used when needed and the power_off variable is not initialized twice. But
+I did not find a better way to do this with the way the current initialization
+system works.
