| 7 | This option is selected by any driver which registers a |
| 8 | device or driver on the MIC Bus, such as CONFIG_INTEL_MIC_HOST, |
| 9 | CONFIG_INTEL_MIC_CARD, CONFIG_INTEL_MIC_X100_DMA etc. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | If you are building a host/card kernel with an Intel MIC device |
| 12 | then say M (recommended) or Y, else say N. If unsure say N. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | More information about the Intel MIC family as well as the Linux |
| 15 | OS and tools for MIC to use with this driver are available from |

| 25 | This enables Host Driver support for the Intel Many Integrated |
| 26 | Core (MIC) family of PCIe form factor coprocessor devices that |
| 27 | run a 64 bit Linux OS. The driver manages card OS state and |
| 28 | enables communication between host and card. Intel MIC X100 |
| 29 | devices are currently supported. |
