Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and
strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a
woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.

Please ignore these for now as the code isn't in the tree either. For
the time being it would be more correct to comment out the config
questions.

> UCODE_PATCH

Once again:
Motorola releases microcode updates for their 8xx CPM modules. The
microcode update file has updates for IIC, SMC and USB. Currently only
the USB update is available by default, if the MPC8xx USB option is
enabled. If in doubt, say 'N' here.

And yes, the USB driver isn't in the tree yet either.

This bit was included in the original patch.
Do you want it as a patch for 2.4 also or do you merge by-hand anyway?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may
be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons
than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may
sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those
who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they
do so with the approval of their consciences.

CONFIG_DEBUG_RWLOCK
Read-write spinlock debugging
If you say Y here then read-write lock processing will count how many
times it has tried to get the lock and issue an error message after
too many attempts. If you suspect a rwlock problem or a kernel
hacker asks for this option then say Y. Otherwise say N.

CONFIG_DEBUG_SEMAPHORE
Semaphore debugging
If you say Y here then semaphore processing will issue lots of
verbose debugging messages. If you suspect a semaphore problem or a
kernel hacker asks for this option then say Y. Otherwise say N.

AU1000 serial console
AU1000_SERIAL_CONSOLE
If you have an Alchemy AU1000 processor (MIPS based) and you want
to use a console on a serial port, say Y. Otherwise, say N.

AU1000 serial support
AU1000_UART
If you have an Alchemy AU1000 processor (MIPS based) and you want
to use serial ports, say Y. Otherwise, say N.

AU1000 ethernet controller on SGI MIPS system
MIPS_AU1000_ENET
If you have an Alchemy Semi AU1000 ethernet controller
on an SGI MIPS system, say Y. Otherwise, say N.

WD93 SCSI Controller on SGI MIPS system
SGIWD93_SCSI
If you have a Western Digital WD93 SCSI controller on
an SGI MIPS system, say Y. Otherwise, say N.

IA64_GRANULE_16MB
Physical memory granularity (16 MB)
IA64 identity-mapped regions use a large page size. We'll call such
large pages "granules". If you can think of a better name that's
unambiguous, let us know... Unless your identity-mapped regions are
very large, select a granule size of 16MB.

IA64_GRANULE_64MB
Physical memory granularity (64 MB)
IA64 identity-mapped regions use a large page size. We'll call such
large pages "granules". If you can think of a better name that's
unambiguous, let us know... Unless your identity-mapped regions are
very large, select a granule size of 16MB.

IA64_SGI_SN_DEBUG
Enable SGI SN extra debugging code
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.

IA64_SGI_SN_SIM
Enable SGI Medusa Simulator Support
If you are compiling a kernel that will run under SGI's IA64
simulator (Medusa) then say Y, otherwise say N.

CONFIG_PCIBA
PCIBA Support
IRIX PCIBA-inspired user mode PCI interface for the SGI SN (Scalable
NUMA) platform for IA64. Unless you are compiling a kernel for an
SGI SN IA64 box, say N.

SERIAL_SGI_L1_PROTOCOL
Enable protocol mode for the L1 console
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_MAPLE_KEYBOARD

Say Y here if you have a Sega Dreamcast-compatible keyboard. This includes
the myriad of third-party PS/2-to-Dreamcast convertors.

CONFIG_MAPLE_MOUSE

If you have a Sega Dreamcast-compatible mouse say Y here. This includes
the myriad of third-party PS/2-to-Dreamcast convertors.
