269 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
270 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
271 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
272 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
273 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
274 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
275 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
276 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
277 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
278
279 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
280 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
281 as well.
282
283 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
284 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
285 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.

569 address for kernels used to capture crash dump on being kexec'ed
570 after panic. The default value for crash dump kernels is
571 0x1000000 (16MB). This can also be set based on the "X" value as

573 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as

739 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
740 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
741 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
742 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
743 If in doubt, say "N".
