I would hope so (I tested with !CONFIG_SMP also), albeit I used :

#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA

and not

#ifdef CONFIG_SMP


but I don't think you can compile with CONFIG_NUMA without having 
CONFIG_SMP  (if I read the Kconfig correctly..).

I used CONFIG_NUMA because the code-path doesn't really make sense on 
non-numa nodes.

Cheers,
