8config EDD
9	tristate "BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive calls determine boot disk"
10	depends on X86
11	help
12	  Say Y or M here if you want to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive
13	  Services real mode BIOS calls to determine which disk
14	  BIOS tries boot from.  This information is then exported via sysfs.
15
16	  This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some
17          obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do
18          not yet implement this feature.
19
20config EDD_OFF
21	bool "Sets default behavior for EDD detection to off"
22	depends on EDD
23	default n
24	help
25	  Say Y if you want EDD disabled by default, even though it is compiled into the
26	  kernel. Say N if you want EDD enabled by default. EDD can be dynamically set
27	  using the kernel parameter 'edd={on|skipmbr|off}'.
28
29config FIRMWARE_MEMMAP
30    bool "Add firmware-provided memory map to sysfs" if EXPERT
31    default X86
32    help
33      Add the firmware-provided (unmodified) memory map to /sys/firmware/memmap.
34      That memory map is used for example by kexec to set up parameter area
35      for the next kernel, but can also be used for debugging purposes.
36
37      See also Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-firmware-memmap.

39config EFI_VARS
40	tristate "EFI Variable Support via sysfs"
41	depends on EFI
42	select UCS2_STRING
43	default n
44	help
45	  If you say Y here, you are able to get EFI (Extensible Firmware
46	  Interface) variable information via sysfs.  You may read,
47	  write, create, and destroy EFI variables through this interface.
48
49	  Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires
50	  at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is
51	  available from Matt Domsch's website located at:
52	  <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz>
53
54	  Subsequent efibootmgr releases may be found at:
55	  <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr>
56
57config EFI_VARS_PSTORE
58	bool "Register efivars backend for pstore"
59	depends on EFI_VARS && PSTORE
60	default y
61	help
62	  Say Y here to enable use efivars as a backend to pstore. This
63	  will allow writing console messages, crash dumps, or anything
64	  else supported by pstore to EFI variables.
65
66config EFI_VARS_PSTORE_DEFAULT_DISABLE
67	bool "Disable using efivars as a pstore backend by default"
68	depends on EFI_VARS_PSTORE
69	default n
70	help
71	  Saying Y here will disable the use of efivars as a storage
72	  backend for pstore by default. This setting can be overridden
73	  using the efivars module's pstore_disable parameter.
74
75config EFI_PCDP
76	bool "Console device selection via EFI PCDP or HCDP table"
77	depends on ACPI && EFI && IA64
78	default y if IA64
79	help
80	  If your firmware supplies the PCDP table, and you want to
81	  automatically use the primary console device it describes
82	  as the Linux console, say Y here.
83
84	  If your firmware supplies the HCDP table, and you want to
85	  use the first serial port it describes as the Linux console,
86	  say Y here.  If your EFI ConOut path contains only a UART
87	  device, it will become the console automatically.  Otherwise,
88	  you must specify the "console=hcdp" kernel boot argument.
89
90	  Neither the PCDP nor the HCDP affects naming of serial devices,
91	  so a serial console may be /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, etc, depending
92	  on how the driver discovers devices.
93
94	  You must also enable the appropriate drivers (serial, VGA, etc.)
95
96	  See DIG64_HCDPv20_042804.pdf available from

99config DELL_RBU
100	tristate "BIOS update support for DELL systems via sysfs"
101	depends on X86
102	select FW_LOADER
103	help
104	 Say m if you want to have the option of updating the BIOS for your
105	 DELL system. Note you need a Dell OpenManage or Dell Update package (DUP)
106	 supporting application to communicate with the BIOS regarding the new
107	 image for the image update to take effect.
108	 See <file:Documentation/dell_rbu.txt> for more details on the driver.
109
110config DCDBAS
111	tristate "Dell Systems Management Base Driver"
112	depends on X86
113	help
114	  The Dell Systems Management Base Driver provides a sysfs interface
115	  for systems management software to perform System Management
116	  Interrupts (SMIs) and Host Control Actions (system power cycle or
117	  power off after OS shutdown) on certain Dell systems.
118
119	  See <file:Documentation/dcdbas.txt> for more details on the driver
120	  and the Dell systems on which Dell systems management software makes
121	  use of this driver.
122
123	  Say Y or M here to enable the driver for use by Dell systems
124	  management software such as Dell OpenManage.
125
126config DMIID
127    bool "Export DMI identification via sysfs to userspace"
128    depends on DMI
129    default y
130	help
131	  Say Y here if you want to query SMBIOS/DMI system identification
132	  information from userspace through /sys/class/dmi/id/ or if you want
133	  DMI-based module auto-loading.
134
135config DMI_SYSFS
136	tristate "DMI table support in sysfs"
137	depends on SYSFS && DMI
138	default n
139	help
140	  Say Y or M here to enable the exporting of the raw DMI table
141	  data via sysfs.  This is useful for consuming the data without
142	  requiring any access to /dev/mem at all.  Tables are found
143	  under /sys/firmware/dmi when this option is enabled and
144	  loaded.
145
146config ISCSI_IBFT_FIND
147	bool "iSCSI Boot Firmware Table Attributes"
148	depends on X86
149	default n
150	help
151	  This option enables the kernel to find the region of memory
152	  in which the ISCSI Boot Firmware Table (iBFT) resides. This
153	  is necessary for iSCSI Boot Firmware Table Attributes module to work
154	  properly.
155
156config ISCSI_IBFT
157	tristate "iSCSI Boot Firmware Table Attributes module"
158	select ISCSI_BOOT_SYSFS
159	depends on ISCSI_IBFT_FIND && SCSI && SCSI_LOWLEVEL
160	default	n
161	help
162	  This option enables support for detection and exposing of iSCSI
163	  Boot Firmware Table (iBFT) via sysfs to userspace. If you wish to
164	  detect iSCSI boot parameters dynamically during system boot, say Y.
165	  Otherwise, say N.
