+	  console messages) via printk is available.
+
+	  The feature is useful to inline user messages with kernel

+	  interface into the One Time Programmable memory pages that are
+	  stored on the Blackfin processor.  This will not get you access
+	  to the secure memory pages however.  You will need to write your
+	  own secure code and reader for that.

+
+config PRINTER
+	tristate "Parallel printer support"
+	depends on PARPORT
+	---help---
+	  If you intend to attach a printer to the parallel port of your Linux
+	  box (as opposed to using a serial printer; if the connector at the
+	  printer has 9 or 25 holes ["female"], then it's serial), say Y.
+	  Also read the Printing-HOWTO, available from
+	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
+
+	  It is possible to share one parallel port among several devices
+	  (e.g. printer and ZIP drive) and it is safe to compile the
+	  corresponding drivers into the kernel.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
+	  <file:Documentation/parport.txt>.  The module will be called lp.
+
+	  If you have several parallel ports, you can specify which ports to
+	  use with the "lp" kernel command line option.  (Try "man bootparam"
+	  or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about
+	  how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)  The syntax of the
+	  "lp" command line option can be found in <file:drivers/char/lp.c>.
+
+	  If you have more than 8 printers, you need to increase the LP_NO
+	  macro in lp.c and the PARPORT_MAX macro in parport.h.
+
+config LP_CONSOLE
+	bool "Support for console on line printer"
+	depends on PRINTER
+	---help---
+	  If you want kernel messages to be printed out as they occur, you
+	  can have a console on the printer. This option adds support for
+	  doing that; to actually get it to happen you need to pass the
+	  option "console=lp0" to the kernel at boot time.
+
+	  If the printer is out of paper (or off, or unplugged, or too
+	  busy..) the kernel will stall until the printer is ready again.
+	  By defining CONSOLE_LP_STRICT to 0 (at your own risk) you
+	  can make the kernel continue when this happens,
+	  but it'll lose the kernel messages.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+config PPDEV
+	tristate "Support for user-space parallel port device drivers"
+	depends on PARPORT
+	---help---
+	  Saying Y to this adds support for /dev/parport device nodes.  This
+	  is needed for programs that want portable access to the parallel
+	  port, for instance deviceid (which displays Plug-and-Play device
+	  IDs).
+
+	  This is the parallel port equivalent of SCSI generic support (sg).
+	  It is safe to say N to this -- it is not needed for normal printing
+	  or parallel port CD-ROM/disk support.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called ppdev.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.

+	select HVC_DRIVER
+	help
+	  Virtio console for use with lguest and other hypervisors.
+
+	  Also serves as a general-purpose serial device for data
+	  transfer between the guest and host.  Character devices at
+	  /dev/vportNpn will be created when corresponding ports are
+	  found, where N is the device number and n is the port number
+	  within that device.  If specified by the host, a sysfs
+	  attribute called 'name' will be populated with a name for
+	  the port which can be used by udev scripts to create a
+	  symlink to the device.

+	  temperature set points and to read the current temperature.
+
+	  It is also possible to say M here to build it as a module (ds1620)
+	  It is recommended to be used on a NetWinder, but it is not a
+	  necessity.
+
+config NWBUTTON
+	tristate "NetWinder Button"
+	depends on ARCH_NETWINDER
+	---help---
+	  If you say Y here and create a character device node /dev/nwbutton
+	  with major and minor numbers 10 and 158 ("man mknod"), then every
+	  time the orange button is pressed a number of times, the number of
+	  times the button was pressed will be written to that device.
+
+	  This is most useful for applications, as yet unwritten, which
+	  perform actions based on how many times the button is pressed in a
+	  row.
+
+	  Do not hold the button down for too long, as the driver does not
+	  alter the behaviour of the hardware reset circuitry attached to the
+	  button; it will still execute a hard reset if the button is held
+	  down for longer than approximately five seconds.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called nwbutton.
+
+	  Most people will answer Y to this question and "Reboot Using Button"
+	  below to be able to initiate a system shutdown from the button.
+
+config NWBUTTON_REBOOT
+	bool "Reboot Using Button"
+	depends on NWBUTTON
+	help
+	  If you say Y here, then you will be able to initiate a system
+	  shutdown and reboot by pressing the orange button a number of times.
+	  The number of presses to initiate the shutdown is two by default,
+	  but this can be altered by modifying the value of NUM_PRESSES_REBOOT
+	  in nwbutton.h and recompiling the driver or, if you compile the
+	  driver as a module, you can specify the number of presses at load
+	  time with "insmod button reboot_count=<something>".
+
+config NWFLASH
+	tristate "NetWinder flash support"
+	depends on ARCH_NETWINDER
+	---help---
+	  If you say Y here and create a character device /dev/flash with
+	  major 10 and minor 160 you can manipulate the flash ROM containing
+	  the NetWinder firmware. Be careful as accidentally overwriting the
+	  flash contents can render your computer unbootable. On no account
+	  allow random users access to this device. :-)
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called nwflash.
+

+config NVRAM
+	tristate "/dev/nvram support"
+	depends on ATARI || X86 || (ARM && RTC_DRV_CMOS) || GENERIC_NVRAM
+	---help---
+	  If you say Y here and create a character special file /dev/nvram
+	  with major number 10 and minor number 144 using mknod ("man mknod"),
+	  you get read and write access to the extra bytes of non-volatile
+	  memory in the real time clock (RTC), which is contained in every PC
+	  and most Ataris.  The actual number of bytes varies, depending on the
+	  nvram in the system, but is usually 114 (128-14 for the RTC).
+
+	  This memory is conventionally called "CMOS RAM" on PCs and "NVRAM"
+	  on Ataris. /dev/nvram may be used to view settings there, or to
+	  change them (with some utility). It could also be used to frequently
+	  save a few bits of very important data that may not be lost over
+	  power-off and for which writing to disk is too insecure. Note
+	  however that most NVRAM space in a PC belongs to the BIOS and you
+	  should NEVER idly tamper with it. See Ralf Brown's interrupt list
+	  for a guide to the use of CMOS bytes by your BIOS.
+
+	  On Atari machines, /dev/nvram is always configured and does not need
+	  to be selected.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called nvram.
