	  Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial
	  port.

	  This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
	  early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
	  it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
	  with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,
	  unless you want to debug such a crash.

	  This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
	  of memory corruptions.

	  Say Y here if you want to show the kernel pagetable layout in a

	  who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel.
	  It is probably not a good idea to enable this feature in a production

	  Enable gigabyte pages support (if the CPU supports it). This can

	  pressure.

	  This is experimental code.

	help
	  If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
	  kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
	  running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
	  on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
	  will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.

	  This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that
	  would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this
	  option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey
	  hair.

	  Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
	  memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
	  allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
	  time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
	  list merging.  Currently not recommended for production
	  code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
	  IOMMU/AGP aperture.  Most of the options enabled by this can
	  be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
	  options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
	  details.

config IOMMU_LEAK
	bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	depends on IOMMU_DEBUG
	help
	  Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
	  are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.

	  This is the traditional Linux IO delay used for in/out_p.
	  It is the most tested hence safest selection here.

config IO_DELAY_0XED
	bool "port 0xed based port-IO delay"
	help
	  Use port 0xed as the IO delay. This frees up port 0x80 which is
	  often used as a hardware-debug port.

config IO_DELAY_UDELAY
	bool "udelay based port-IO delay"
	help
	  Use udelay(2) as the IO delay method. This provides the delay
	  while not having any side-effect on the IO port space.

	  No port-IO delay. Will break on old boxes that require port-IO
	  delay for certain operations. Should work on most new machines.
