    # SMP OPTIONS:
    #
    # The apic device enables the use of the I/O APIC for interrupt delivery.
    # The apic device can be used in both UP and SMP kernels, but is required
    # for SMP kernels.  Thus, the apic device is not strictly an SMP option,
    # but it is a prerequisite for SMP.
    #
    # Notes:
    #
    # HTT CPUs should only be used if they are enabled in the BIOS.  For
    # the ACPI case, ACPI only correctly tells us about any HTT CPUs if
    # they are enabled.  However, most HTT systems do not list HTT CPUs
    # in the MP Table if they are enabled, thus we guess at the HTT CPUs
    # for the MP Table case.  However, we shouldn't try to guess and use
    # these CPUs if HTT is disabled.  Thus, HTT guessing is only enabled
    # for the MP Table if the user explicitly asks for it via the
    # MPTABLE_FORCE_HTT option.  Do NOT use this option if you have HTT
    # disabled in your BIOS.
    #
    # IPI_PREEMPTION instructs the kernel to preempt threads running on other
    # CPUS if needed.  Relies on the PREEMPTION option
    
    # Mandatory:
    device          apic                    # I/O apic

    # CPU OPTIONS
    
    #
    # You must specify at least one CPU (the one you intend to run on);
    # deleting the specification for CPUs you don't need to use may make
    # parts of the system run faster.
    #
    cpu             I486_CPU
    cpu             I586_CPU                # aka Pentium(tm)
    cpu             I686_CPU                # aka Pentium Pro(tm)
    
    #
    # Options for CPU features.
    #
    # CPU_ATHLON_SSE_HACK tries to enable SSE instructions when the BIOS has
    # forgotten to enable them.
    #
    # CPU_BLUELIGHTNING_3X enables triple-clock mode on IBM Blue Lightning
    # CPU if CPU supports it.  The default is double-clock mode on
    # BlueLightning CPU box.
    #
    # CPU_BLUELIGHTNING_FPU_OP_CACHE enables FPU operand cache on IBM
    # BlueLightning CPU.  It works only with Cyrix FPU, and this option
    # should not be used with Intel FPU.
    #
    # CPU_BTB_EN enables branch target buffer on Cyrix 5x86 (NOTE 1).
    #
    # CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK enables weak locking for the entire address space
    # of Cyrix 6x86 and 6x86MX CPUs by setting the NO_LOCK bit of CCR1.
    # Otherwise, the NO_LOCK bit of CCR1 is cleared.  (NOTE 3)
    #
    # CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE sets L1 cache of Cyrix 486DLC CPU in direct
    # mapped mode.  Default is 2-way set associative mode.
    #
    # CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER disables load store serialize (i.e., enables
    # reorder).  This option should not be used if you use memory mapped
    # I/O device(s).
    #
    # CPU_DISABLE_CMPXCHG disables the CMPXCHG instruction on > i386 IA32
    # machines.  VmWare 3.x seems to emulate this instruction poorly, causing
    # the guest OS to run very slowly.  This problem appears to be fixed in
    # VmWare 4.x, at least in version 4.5.2, so that enabling this option with
   # VmWare 4.x will result in locking operations to be 20-30 times slower.
   # Enabling this with an SMP kernel will cause the kernel to be unusable.
   #
   # CPU_DISABLE_SSE explicitly prevents I686_CPU from turning on SSE.
   #
   # CPU_ELAN enables support for AMDs ElanSC520 CPU.
   #    CPU_ELAN_PPS enables precision timestamp code.
   #    CPU_ELAN_XTAL sets the clock crystal frequency in Hz.
   #
   # CPU_ENABLE_LONGRUN enables support for Transmeta Crusoe LongRun
   # technology which allows to restrict power consumption of the CPU by
   # using group of hw.crusoe.* sysctls.
   #
   # CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU enables faster FPU exception handler.
   #
   # CPU_GEODE is for the SC1100 Geode embedded processor.  This option
   # is necessary because the i8254 timecounter is toast.
   #
   # CPU_I486_ON_386 enables CPU cache on i486 based CPU upgrade products
   # for i386 machines.
   #
   # CPU_IORT defines I/O clock delay time (NOTE 1).  Default values of
   # I/O clock delay time on Cyrix 5x86 and 6x86 are 0 and 7,respectively
   # (no clock delay).
   #
   # CPU_L2_LATENCY specifies the L2 cache latency value.  This option is used
   # only when CPU_PPRO2CELERON is defined and Mendocino Celeron is detected.
   # The default value is 5.
   #
   # CPU_LOOP_EN prevents flushing the prefetch buffer if the destination
   # of a jump is already present in the prefetch buffer on Cyrix 5x86(NOTE
   # 1).
   #
   # CPU_PPRO2CELERON enables L2 cache of Mendocino Celeron CPUs.  This option
   # is useful when you use Socket 8 to Socket 370 converter, because most Pentium
   # Pro BIOSs do not enable L2 cache of Mendocino Celeron CPUs.
   #
   # CPU_RSTK_EN enables return stack on Cyrix 5x86 (NOTE 1).
   #
   # CPU_SOEKRIS enables support www.soekris.com hardware.
   #
   # CPU_SUSP_HLT enables suspend on HALT.  If this option is set, CPU
   # enters suspend mode following execution of HALT instruction.
   #
   # CPU_UPGRADE_HW_CACHE eliminates unneeded cache flush instruction(s).
   #
   # CPU_WT_ALLOC enables write allocation on Cyrix 6x86/6x86MX and AMD
   # K5/K6/K6-2 CPUs.
   #
   # CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS enables CPU cache on Cyrix 486 CPUs with cache
   # flush at hold state.
   #
   # CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS enables (1) CPU cache on Cyrix 486 CPUs
   # without cache flush at hold state, and (2) write-back CPU cache on
   # Cyrix 6x86 whose revision < 2.7 (NOTE 2).
   #
   # NO_F00F_HACK disables the hack that prevents Pentiums (and ONLY
   # Pentiums) from locking up when a LOCK CMPXCHG8B instruction is
   # executed.  This option is only needed if I586_CPU is also defined,
   # and should be included for any non-Pentium CPU that defines it.
   #
   # NO_MEMORY_HOLE is an optimisation for systems with AMD K6 processors
   # which indicates that the 15-16MB range is *definitely* not being
   # occupied by an ISA memory hole.
   #
   # NOTE 1: The options, CPU_BTB_EN, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_IORT,
   # CPU_LOOP_EN and CPU_RSTK_EN should not be used because of CPU bugs.
   # These options may crash your system.
   #
   # NOTE 2: If CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS is not set, CPU cache is enabled
   # in write-through mode when revision < 2.7.  If revision of Cyrix
   # 6x86 >= 2.7, CPU cache is always enabled in write-back mode.
   #
   # NOTE 3: This option may cause failures for software that requires
   # locked cycles in order to operate correctly.

   # NETWORKING OPTIONS
   
   #
   # DEVICE_POLLING adds support for mixed interrupt-polling handling
   # of network device drivers, which has significant benefits in terms
   # of robustness to overloads and responsivity, as well as permitting
   # accurate scheduling of the CPU time between kernel network processing
   # and other activities.  The drawback is a moderate (up to 1/HZ seconds)
   # potential increase in response times.
   # It is strongly recommended to use HZ=1000 or 2000 with DEVICE_POLLING
   # to achieve smoother behaviour.
   # Additionally, you can enable/disable polling at runtime with help of
   # the ifconfig(8) utility, and select the CPU fraction reserved to
   # userland with the sysctl variable kern.polling.user_frac
   # (default 50, range 0..100).
