131da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support for
141c48aa36SBjorn Helgaas	  Linux requires an ACPI-compliant platform (hardware/firmware),
151da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  and assumes the presence of OS-directed configuration and power
161da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  management (OSPM) software.  This option will enlarge your
171da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  kernel by about 70K.
181da177e4SLinus Torvalds
191da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Linux ACPI provides a robust functional replacement for several
201da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  legacy configuration and power management interfaces, including
211da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  the Plug-and-Play BIOS specification (PnP BIOS), the
221da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  MultiProcessor Specification (MPS), and the Advanced Power
231da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Management (APM) specification.  If both ACPI and APM support
241c48aa36SBjorn Helgaas	  are configured, ACPI is used.

291da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Linux support for ACPI is based on Intel Corporation's ACPI
