(This behavior can be changed with the kernel 1581506f1d07SSam Ravnborg command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor 1582506f1d07SSam Ravnborg is broken.

This is most useful if you have 1600506f1d07SSam Ravnborg a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining 1601506f1d07SSam Ravnborg allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer 1602506f1d07SSam Ravnborg before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus.

VMD is a 2755185a383aSKeith Busch secondary PCI host bridge that allows PCI Express root ports, 2756185a383aSKeith Busch and devices attached to them, to be removed from the default 2757185a383aSKeith Busch PCI domain and placed within the VMD domain. This provides 2758185a383aSKeith Busch more bus resources than are otherwise possible with a 2759185a383aSKeith Busch single domain. If you know your system provides one of these and 2760185a383aSKeith Busch has devices attached to it, say Y; if you are not sure, say N. 2761185a383aSKeith Busch 2762e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgsource "net/Kconfig" 2763e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2764e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgsource "drivers/Kconfig" 2765e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2766e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgsource "drivers/firmware/Kconfig" 2767e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2768e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgsource "fs/Kconfig" 2769e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2770e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgsource "arch/x86/Kconfig.debug" 2771e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2772e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgsource "security/Kconfig" 2773e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2774e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgsource "crypto/Kconfig" 2775e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2776edf88417SAvi Kivitysource "arch/x86/kvm/Kconfig" 2777edf88417SAvi Kivity 2778e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgsource "lib/Kconfig" 2779
