+config PREP_RESIDUAL
+        bool "Support for PReP Residual Data"
+        depends on PPC_PREP
+        help
+          Some PReP systems have residual data passed to the kernel by the
+          firmware.  This allows detection of memory size, devices present and
+          other useful pieces of information.  Sometimes this information is
+          not present or incorrect, in which case it could lead to the machine 
+          behaving incorrectly.  If this happens, either disable PREP_RESIDUAL
+          or pass the 'noresidual' option to the kernel.
+
+          If you are running a PReP system, say Y here, otherwise say N.
+
+config PROC_PREPRESIDUAL
+        bool "Support for reading of PReP Residual Data in /proc"
+        depends on PREP_RESIDUAL && PROC_FS
+        help
+          Enabling this option will create a /proc/residual file which allows
+          you to get at the residual data on PReP systems.  You will need a tool
+          (lsresidual) to parse it.  If you aren't on a PReP system, you don't
+          want this.
