	  obviously need the actual microcode binary data itself which is
	  not shipped with the Linux kernel.

	  For latest news and information on obtaining all the required
	  ingredients for this driver, check:
	  <http://www.urbanmyth.org/microcode/>.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the

	  If you use modprobe or kmod you may also want to add the line
	  'alias char-major-10-184 microcode' to your /etc/modules.conf file.

config MTRR
	bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
	---help---
	  On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
	  the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
	  processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
	  a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
	  allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
	  before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
	  of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
	  /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
	  MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.

	  This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
	  control registers on other processors can be easily supported
	  as well.

	  Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
	  set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
	  can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.

	  Just say Y here, all x86-64 machines support MTRRs.

	  See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.

config SMP
	bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
	---help---
	  This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
	  a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
	  you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.

	  If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
	  machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
	  you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
	  singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
	  will run faster if you say N here.

	  If you don't know what to do here, say N.

config SCHED_SMT
	bool "SMT (Hyperthreading) scheduler support"
	depends on SMP
	default n
	help
	  SMT scheduler support improves the CPU scheduler's decision making

	  N here.

config SCHED_MC
	bool "Multi-core scheduler support"
	depends on SMP
	default y
	help
	  Multi-core scheduler support improves the CPU scheduler's decision

	  increased overhead in some places. If unsure say N here.

config NUMA
       bool "Non Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) Support"
       depends on SMP
       help
	 Enable NUMA (Non Uniform Memory Access) support. The kernel 
	 will try to allocate memory used by a CPU on the local memory 
	 controller of the CPU and add some more NUMA awareness to the kernel.
	 This code is recommended on all multiprocessor Opteron systems.
	 If the system is EM64T, you should say N unless your system is EM64T 
	 NUMA. 

config K8_NUMA

       depends on NUMA
       default y
       help
	 Enable K8 NUMA node topology detection.  You should say Y here if
	 you have a multi processor AMD K8 system. This uses an old
	 method to read the NUMA configurtion directly from the builtin
	 Northbridge of Opteron. It is recommended to use X86_64_ACPI_NUMA

	  This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this

	  APIC addressing limits. Less depending on the hardware.

	  This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU requires

	  Use the IA-PC HPET (High Precision Event Timer) to manage
	  time in preference to the PIT and RTC, if a HPET is
	  present.  The HPET provides a stable time base on SMP
	  systems, unlike the TSC, but it is more expensive to access,
	  as it is off-chip.  You can find the HPET spec at
	  <http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec.htm>.

config IOMMU

	select SWIOTLB
	select AGP
	depends on PCI
	help
	  Support for full DMA access of devices with 32bit memory access only
	  on systems with more than 3GB. This is usually needed for USB,
	  sound, many IDE/SATA chipsets and some other devices.
	  Provides a driver for the AMD Athlon64/Opteron/Turion/Sempron GART
	  based IOMMU and a software bounce buffer based IOMMU used on Intel
	  systems and as fallback.
	  The code is only active when needed (enough memory and limited
	  device) unless CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG or iommu=force is specified
	  too.

config CALGARY_IOMMU
	bool "IBM Calgary IOMMU support"
	default y
	select SWIOTLB
	depends on PCI && EXPERIMENTAL
	help
	  Support for hardware IOMMUs in IBM's xSeries x366 and x460
	  systems. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
	  properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC
	  (Double Address Cycle). Calgary also supports bus level
	  isolation, where all DMAs pass through the IOMMU.  This
	  prevents them from going anywhere except their intended
	  destination. This catches hard-to-find kernel bugs and
	  mis-behaving drivers and devices that do not use the DMA-API
	  properly to set up their DMA buffers.  The IOMMU can be
	  turned off at boot time with the iommu=off parameter.
	  Normally the kernel will make the right choice by itself.
	  If unsure, say Y.

# need this always selected by IOMMU for the VIA workaround
config SWIOTLB
	bool

config X86_MCE
	bool "Machine check support" if EMBEDDED
	default y
	help
	   Include a machine check error handler to report hardware errors.

config X86_MCE_INTEL
	bool "Intel MCE features"
	depends on X86_MCE && X86_LOCAL_APIC
	default y
	help
	   Additional support for intel specific MCE features such as
	   the thermal monitor.

config X86_MCE_AMD
	bool "AMD MCE features"
	depends on X86_MCE && X86_LOCAL_APIC
	default y
	help
	   Additional support for AMD specific MCE features such as
	   the DRAM Error Threshold.

config KEXEC
	bool "kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"
	depends on EXPERIMENTAL
	help
	  kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
	  current kernel, and to start another kernel.  It is like a reboot
	  but it is independent of the system firmware.   And like a reboot
	  you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.

	  The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.

	  It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
	  is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
	  initially work for you.  It may help to enable device hotplugging
	  support.  As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
	  strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

config CRASH_DUMP
	bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
	depends on EXPERIMENTAL
	help
          Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
          This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
          which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
          a specially reserved region and then later executed after
          a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
	  to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
	  PHYSICAL_START.
          For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt

config PHYSICAL_START
	hex "Physical address where the kernel is loaded" if (EMBEDDED || CRASH_DUMP)
	default "0x1000000" if CRASH_DUMP
	default "0x200000"
	help
	  This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded. Normally
	  for regular kernels this value is 0x200000 (2MB). But in the case
	  of kexec on panic the fail safe kernel needs to run at a different
	  address than the panic-ed kernel. This option is used to set the load
	  address for kernels used to capture crash dump on being kexec'ed
	  after panic. The default value for crash dump kernels is
	  0x1000000 (16MB). This can also be set based on the "X" value as
	  specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
	  passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
	  crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
	  Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.

	  Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.

config SECCOMP
	bool "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
	depends on PROC_FS
	default y
	help
	  This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
	  that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
	  execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
	  the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
	  syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
	  their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
	  enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
	  and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
	  defined by each seccomp mode.

	  If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.

config REORDER

         This option enables the toolchain to reorder functions for a more
