+          Are you sure you really want to build the staging drivers?
+          They taint your kernel, don't live up to the normal Linux
+          kernel quality standards, are a bit crufty around the edges,
+          and might go off and kick your dog when you aren't paying
+          attention.

+          Say N here to be able to select and build the Staging drivers.
+          This option is primarily here to prevent them from being built
+          when selecting 'make allyesconfg' and 'make allmodconfig' so
+          don't be all that put off, your dog will be just fine.
