+CONFIG_IA64_SGI_AUTOTEST
+ Build a kernel used for hardware validation. If you include the
+ keyword "autotest" on the boot command line, the kernel does NOT boot.
+ Instead, it starts all cpus and runs cache coherency tests instead.

+CONFIG_IA64_SGI_SN_DEBUG
+ Turns on extra debugging code in the SGI SN (Scalable NUMA) platform
+ for IA64. Unless you are debugging problems on an SGI SN IA64 box,
+ say N.
+
+CONFIG_IA64_SGI_SN_SIM
+ If you are compiling a kernel that will run under SGI's IA64
+ simulator (Medusa) then say Y, otherwise say N.

+CONFIG_SERIAL_SGI_L1_PROTOCOL
+ Uses protocol mode instead of raw mode for the level 1 console on the
+ SGI SN (Scalable NUMA) platform for IA64. If you are compiling for
+ an SGI SN box then Y is the recommended value, otherwise say N.

+CONFIG_PCIBA
+ IRIX PCIBA-inspired user mode PCI interface for the SGI SN (Scalable

CONFIG_IA64_MCA
Say Y here to enable machine check support for IA-64. If you're
unsure, answer Y.
