+ This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded. Normally
+ for regular kernels this value is 0x100000 (1MB). But in the case
+ of kexec on panic the fail safe kernel needs to run at a different
+ address than the panic-ed kernel. This option is used to set the load
+ address for kernels used to capture crash dump on being kexec'ed
+ after panic. The default value for crash dump kernels is
+ 0x1000000 (16MB). This can also be set based on the "X" value as
+ specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
+ passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
+ crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
+ Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
+
+ Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.

- If you don't know what to do here, say N.
+ This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
+ (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
+ PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
+ for other scx200_* drivers.
- This support is also available as a module. If compiled as a
- module, it will be called scx200.
