|  | 4 | config PCI_MSI | 
|  | 5 | bool "Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI and MSI-X)" | 
|  | 6 | depends on PCI | 
|  | 7 | depends on (X86_LOCAL_APIC && X86_IO_APIC) || IA64 | 
|  | 8 | help | 
|  | 9 | This allows device drivers to enable MSI (Message Signaled | 
|  | 10 | Interrupts).  Message Signaled Interrupts enable a device to | 
|  | 11 | generate an interrupt using an inbound Memory Write on its | 
|  | 12 | PCI bus instead of asserting a device IRQ pin. | 
|  | 13 |  | 
|  | 14 | If you don't know what to do here, say N. | 
|  | 15 |  | 
|  | 16 | config PCI_LEGACY_PROC | 
|  | 17 | bool "Legacy /proc/pci interface" | 
|  | 18 | depends on PCI | 
|  | 19 | ---help--- | 
|  | 20 | This feature enables a procfs file -- /proc/pci -- that provides a | 
|  | 21 | summary of PCI devices in the system. | 
|  | 22 |  | 
|  | 23 | This feature has been deprecated as of v2.5.53, in favor of using the | 
|  | 24 | tool lspci(8). This feature may be removed at a future date. | 
|  | 25 |  | 
|  | 26 | lspci can provide the same data, as well as much more. lspci is a part of | 
|  | 27 | the pci-utils package, which should be installed by your distribution. | 
|  | 28 | See <file:Documentation/Changes> for information on where to get the latest | 
|  | 29 | version. | 
|  | 30 |  | 
|  | 31 | When in doubt, say N. | 
|  | 32 |  | 
|  | 33 | config PCI_NAMES | 
|  | 34 | bool "PCI device name database" | 
|  | 35 | depends on PCI | 
|  | 36 | ---help--- | 
|  | 37 | By default, the kernel contains a database of all known PCI device | 
|  | 38 | names to make the information in /proc/pci, /proc/ioports and | 
|  | 39 | similar files comprehensible to the user. | 
|  | 40 |  | 
|  | 41 | This database increases size of the kernel image by about 80KB. This | 
|  | 42 | memory is freed after the system boots up if CONFIG_HOTPLUG is not set. | 
|  | 43 |  | 
|  | 44 | Anyway, if you are building an installation floppy or kernel for an | 
|  | 45 | embedded system where kernel image size really matters, you can disable | 
|  | 46 | this feature and you'll get device ID numbers instead of names. | 
|  | 47 |  | 
|  | 48 | When in doubt, say Y. | 
|  | 49 |  | 
|  | 50 | config PCI_DEBUG | 
|  | 51 | bool "PCI Debugging" | 
|  | 52 | depends on PCI && DEBUG_KERNEL | 
|  | 53 | help | 
|  | 54 | Say Y here if you want the PCI core to produce a bunch of debug | 
|  | 55 | messages to the system log.  Select this if you are having a | 
|  | 56 | problem with PCI support and want to see more of what is going on. | 
|  | 57 |  | 
|  | 58 | When in doubt, say N. |
