12 Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial
13 port.

15 This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
16 early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
17 it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
18 with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,
19 unless you want to debug such a crash.

46 This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
47 of memory corruptions.

92 If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
93 kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
94 running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
95 on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
96 will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.

122 Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
123 memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
124 allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
125 time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
126 list merging. Currently not recommended for production
127 code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
128 IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
129 be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
130 options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
