+	---help---
+	  This option enables system support for the PCEngines ALIX.
+	  At present this just sets up LEDs for GPIO control on
+	  ALIX2/3/6 boards.  However, other system specific setup should
+	  get added here.
+
+	  Note: You must still enable the drivers for GPIO and LED support
+	  (GPIO_CS5535 & LEDS_GPIO) to actually use the LEDs
+
+	  Note: You have to set alix.force=1 for boards with Award BIOS.
