| 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. |
