173	  filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ
174	  will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA.

269	  file names to handle and then later use the handle for
270	  different file system operations. This is useful in implementing
271	  userspace file servers, which now track files using handles instead

1672	  many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1673	  answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1674	  useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1675	  for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
1676	  modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1677
1678	  If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1679	  modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1680	  where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1681	  this).
1682
1683	  If unsure, say Y.

1689	default n
1690	help
1691	  Allow loading of modules without version information (ie. modprobe
1692	  --force).  Forced module loading sets the 'F' (forced) taint flag and
1693	  is usually a really bad idea.
1694
1695config MODULE_UNLOAD
1696	bool "Module unloading"
1697	help
1698	  Without this option you will not be able to unload any
1699	  modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
1700	  anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster
1701	  and simpler.  If unsure, say Y.
1702
1703config MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD
1704	bool "Forced module unloading"
1705	depends on MODULE_UNLOAD
1706	help
1707	  This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1708	  kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1709	  without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1710	  rmmod).  This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
1711	  If unsure, say N.
1712
1713config MODVERSIONS
1714	bool "Module versioning support"
1715	help
1716	  Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1717	  Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1718	  compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1719	  to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1720	  make them incompatible with the kernel you are running.  If
1721	  unsure, say N.
1722
1723config MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL
1724	bool "Source checksum for all modules"
1725	help
1726	  Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1727	  field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1728    	  sum of the source files which made it.  This helps maintainers
1729	  see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1730	  others sometimes change the module source without updating
1731	  the version).  With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1732	  will be created for all modules.  If unsure, say N.

1751	  !!!WARNING!!!  If you enable this option, you MUST make sure that the
1752	  module DOES NOT get stripped after being signed.  This includes the
1753	  debuginfo strip done by some packagers (such as rpmbuild) and
1754	  inclusion into an initramfs that wants the module size reduced.
