Precedence: bulk

This config option isn't in any defconfig.

The very first versions of Powerpc 601 have a bug which
requires additional sync before and/or after some instructions.

This was more than 25 years ago and time has come to retire
those buggy versions of the 601 from the kernel.

-	help
-	  Some versions of the PPC601 (the first PowerPC chip) have bugs which
-	  mean that extra synchronization instructions are required near
-	  certain instructions, typically those that make major changes to the
-	  CPU state.  These extra instructions reduce performance slightly.
-	  If you say N here, these extra instructions will not be included,
-	  resulting in a kernel which will run faster but may not run at all
-	  on some systems with the PPC601 chip.
-
-	  If in doubt, say Y here.
