  config EXPERIMENTAL
  	bool "Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers"
  	---help---
  	  Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
  	  drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
  	  of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
  	  testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
  	  known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
  	  currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
  	  uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
  	  avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
  	  testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
  	  may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
  	  in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
  	  with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
  	  (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
  	  <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
  	  <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
  	  <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
  
  	  This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
  	  drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
  	  scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
  
  	  Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
  	  falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
  	  using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
  	  cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
  	  you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
  	  drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

  	  The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
  	  Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
  	  in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
  	  Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
  	  Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
  
  	  If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
  	  kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
  	  version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
  	  supplied by Christian Ludwig)
  
  	  High compression options are mostly useful for users, who
  	  are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
  	  size matters less.
  
  	  If in doubt, select 'gzip'

  	  filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ
  	  will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA.
  
  	  The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression
  	  speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip
  	  and LZO. Compression is slow.

  	  mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
  	  providing a huge performance boost.  If this option is not enabled,
  	  then the flag will be ignored.
  
  	  This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
  	  ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
  
  	  Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
  	  enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
  	  userspace.  Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
  	  it is normally safe to say Y here.

  	bool "Enable loadable module support"
  	help
  	  Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
  	  be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
  	  permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
  	  tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here,
  	  many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
  	  answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
  	  useful for infrequently used options which are not required
  	  for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
  	  modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
  
  	  If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
  	  modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
  	  where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
  	  this).
  
  	  If unsure, say Y.

  	  --force).  Forced module loading sets the 'F' (forced) taint flag and
  	  is usually a really bad idea.

  	  This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
  	  kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
  	  without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
  	  rmmod).  This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
  	  If unsure, say N.

  	  Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.

  	  Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
  	  field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
      	  sum of the source files which made it.  This helps maintainers
  	  see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
  	  others sometimes change the module source without updating
  	  the version).  With this option, such a "srcversion" field
  	  will be created for all modules.  If unsure, say N.
