Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

14 If you say Y here then read-write lock processing will count how many
15 times it has tried to get the lock and issue an error message after
16 too many attempts. If you suspect a rwlock problem or a kernel
17 hacker asks for this option then say Y. Otherwise say N.

23 If you say Y here then semaphore processing will issue lots of
24 verbose debugging messages. If you suspect a semaphore problem or a
25 kernel hacker asks for this option then say Y. Otherwise say N.

31 ---help---
32 The 2.4 kernel changed the kernel start address from 0x310000
33 to 0x810000 to make room for the Wildfire's larger SRM console.
34 Recent consoles on Titan and Marvel machines also require the
35 extra room.
36
37 If you're using aboot 0.7 or later, the bootloader will examine the
38 ELF headers to determine where to transfer control. Unfortunately,
39 most older bootloaders -- APB or MILO -- hardcoded the kernel start
40 address rather than examining the ELF headers, and the result is a
41 hard lockup.
42
43 Say Y if you have a broken bootloader. Say N if you do not, or if
44 you wish to run on Wildfire, Titan, or Marvel.

55 This option is required for IEEE compliant floating point arithmetic
56 on the Alpha. The only time you would ever not say Y is to say M in
57 order to debug the code. Say Y unless you know what you are doing.
