The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

help
|
|
Say Y or M here if you want to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive
|
|
Services real mode BIOS calls to determine which disk
|
|
BIOS tries boot from. This information is then exported via sysfs.
|
|
|
|
This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some
|
|
obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do
|
|
not yet implement this feature.

Say Y if you want EDD disabled by default, even though it is compiled into the

kernel. Say N if you want EDD enabled by default. EDD can be dynamically set

using the kernel parameter 'edd={on|skipmbr|off}'.

|
|
Add the firmware-provided (unmodified) memory map to /sys/firmware/memmap.
|
|
That memory map is used for example by kexec to set up parameter area
|
|
for the next kernel, but can also be used for debugging purposes.

|

If you say Y here, you are able to get EFI (Extensible Firmware
|
|
Interface) variable information via sysfs. You may read,
|
|
write, create, and destroy EFI variables through this interface.
|
|
|
|
Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires
|
|
at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is
|
|
available from Matt Domsch's website located at:
|
|
<http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz>

config EFI_PCDP

bool "Console device selection via EFI PCDP or HCDP table"

depends on ACPI && EFI && IA64

default y if IA64
|
|
help
|
|
If your firmware supplies the PCDP table, and you want to
|
|
automatically use the primary console device it describes
|
|
as the Linux console, say Y here.
|
|
|
|
If your firmware supplies the HCDP table, and you want to
|
|
use the first serial port it describes as the Linux console,
|
|
say Y here. If your EFI ConOut path contains only a UART
|
|
device, it will become the console automatically. Otherwise,
|
|
you must specify the "console=hcdp" kernel boot argument.
|
|
|
|
Neither the PCDP nor the HCDP affects naming of serial devices,
|
|
so a serial console may be /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, etc, depending
|
|
on how the driver discovers devices.
|
|
|
|
You must also enable the appropriate drivers (serial, VGA, etc.)
