config PREP_RESIDUAL
bool "Support for PReP Residual Data"
depends on PPC_PREP
help
Some PReP systems have residual data passed to the kernel by the
firmware. This allows detection of memory size, devices present and
other useful pieces of information. Sometimes this information is
not present or incorrect, in which case it could lead to the machine
behaving incorrectly. If this happens, either disable PREP_RESIDUAL
or pass the 'noresidual' option to the kernel.
If you are running a PReP system, say Y here, otherwise say N.
config PROC_PREPRESIDUAL
bool "Support for reading of PReP Residual Data in /proc"
depends on PREP_RESIDUAL && PROC_FS
help
Enabling this option will create a /proc/residual file which allows
you to get at the residual data on PReP systems. You will need a tool
(lsresidual) to parse it. If you aren't on a PReP system, you don't
want this.
