Enabling write-combining 1166 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer 1167 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus.

For 1178 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs. 1179 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two 1180 MTRRs.

This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want 1352 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a 1353 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs 1354 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area 1355 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy. 1356 1357 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave 1358 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. 1359 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump 1360 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB 1361 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as 1362 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter 1363 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as 1364 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at 1365 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps. 1366 1367 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as 1368 one does not have to build two kernels.

The driver probes for the 1817 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency 1818 for other scx200_* drivers. 1819 1820 If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200. 1821 1822config SCx200HR_TIMER 1823 tristate "NatSemi SCx200 27MHz High-Resolution Timer Support" 1824 depends on SCx200 && GENERIC_TIME 1825 default y 1826 help 1827 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip 1828 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for 1829 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the 1830 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The 1831 other workaround is idle=poll boot option. 1832 1833config GEODE_MFGPT_TIMER 1834 def_bool y 1835 prompt "Geode Multi-Function General Purpose Timer (MFGPT) events" 1836 depends on MGEODE_LX && GENERIC_TIME && GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS 1837 help 1838 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT 1839 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode. 1840 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the 1841 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers. 1842 1843config OLPC 1844 bool "One Laptop Per Child support" 1845 default n 1846 help 1847 Add support for detecting the unique features of the OLPC 1848 XO hardware. 1849 1850endif # X86_32 1851 1852config K8_NB 1853 def_bool y 1854 depends on AGP_AMD64 || (X86_64 && (GART_IOMMU || (PCI && NUMA))) 1855 1856source "drivers/pcmcia/Kconfig" 1857 1858source "drivers/pci/hotplug/Kconfig" 1859 1860endmenu 1861 1862 1863menu "Executable file formats / Emulations" 1864 1865source "fs/Kconfig.binfmt" 1866 1867config IA32_EMULATION 1868 bool "IA32 Emulation" 1869 depends on X86_64 1870 select COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF 1871 help 1872 Include code to run 32-bit programs under a 64-bit kernel.
