config EARLY_PRINTK
	bool
	depends on ALPHA_GENERIC || ALPHA_SRM
	default y

config DEBUG_RWLOCK
	bool "Read-write spinlock debugging"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	help
	  If you say Y here then read-write lock processing will count how many
	  times it has tried to get the lock and issue an error message after
	  too many attempts.  If you suspect a rwlock problem or a kernel
	  hacker asks for this option then say Y.  Otherwise say N.

config DEBUG_SEMAPHORE
	bool "Semaphore debugging"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	help
	  If you say Y here then semaphore processing will issue lots of
	  verbose debugging messages.  If you suspect a semaphore problem or a
	  kernel hacker asks for this option then say Y.  Otherwise say N.

config ALPHA_LEGACY_START_ADDRESS
	bool "Legacy kernel start address"
	depends on ALPHA_GENERIC
	default n
	---help---
	  The 2.4 kernel changed the kernel start address from 0x310000
	  to 0x810000 to make room for the Wildfire's larger SRM console.
	  Recent consoles on Titan and Marvel machines also require the
	  extra room.

	  If you're using aboot 0.7 or later, the bootloader will examine the
	  ELF headers to determine where to transfer control. Unfortunately,
	  most older bootloaders -- APB or MILO -- hardcoded the kernel start
	  address rather than examining the ELF headers, and the result is a
	  hard lockup.

	  Say Y if you have a broken bootloader.  Say N if you do not, or if
	  you wish to run on Wildfire, Titan, or Marvel.

config ALPHA_LEGACY_START_ADDRESS
	bool
	depends on !ALPHA_GENERIC && !ALPHA_TITAN && !ALPHA_MARVEL && !ALPHA_WILDFIRE
	default y

config MATHEMU
	tristate "Kernel FP software completion" if DEBUG_KERNEL && !SMP
	default y if !DEBUG_KERNEL || SMP
	help
	  This option is required for IEEE compliant floating point arithmetic
	  on the Alpha. The only time you would ever not say Y is to say M in
	  order to debug the code. Say Y unless you know what you are doing.
