| bool "Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI and MSI-X)" | |
| depends on PCI | |
| depends on (X86_LOCAL_APIC && X86_IO_APIC) || IA64 | |
| help | |
| This allows device drivers to enable MSI (Message Signaled | |
| Interrupts). Message Signaled Interrupts enable a device to | |
| generate an interrupt using an inbound Memory Write on its | |
| PCI bus instead of asserting a device IRQ pin. | |
| Use of PCI MSI interrupts can be disabled at kernel boot time | |
| by using the 'pci=nomsi' option. This disables MSI for the | |
| entire system. | |
| If you don't know what to do here, say N. | |
| config PCI_MULTITHREAD_PROBE | |
| bool "PCI Multi-threaded probe (EXPERIMENTAL)" | |
| depends on PCI && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN | |
| help | |
| Say Y here if you want the PCI core to spawn a new thread for | |
| every PCI device that is probed. This can cause a huge | |
| speedup in boot times on multiprocessor machines, and even a | |
| smaller speedup on single processor machines. | |
| But it can also cause lots of bad things to happen. A number | |
| of PCI drivers cannot properly handle running in this way, | |
| some will just not work properly at all, while others might | |
| decide to blow up power supplies with a huge load all at once, | |
| so use this option at your own risk. | |
| It is very unwise to use this option if you are not using a | |
| boot process that can handle devices being created in any | |
| order. A program that can create persistant block and network | |
| device names (like udev) is a good idea if you wish to use | |
| this option. | |
| Again, use this option at your own risk, you have been warned! | |
| When in doubt, say N. | |
| config PCI_DEBUG | |
| bool "PCI Debugging" | |
| depends on PCI && DEBUG_KERNEL | |
| help | |
| Say Y here if you want the PCI core to produce a bunch of debug | |
| messages to the system log. Select this if you are having a | |
| problem with PCI support and want to see more of what is going on. | |
| When in doubt, say N. | |
| config HT_IRQ | |
| bool "Interrupts on hypertransport devices" | |
| default y | |
| depends on PCI && X86_LOCAL_APIC && X86_IO_APIC | |
| help | |
| This allows native hypertransport devices to use interrupts. | |
| If unsure say Y. |
