| config PCI_MSI |
| bool "Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI and MSI-X)" |
| depends on PCI |
| depends on (X86_LOCAL_APIC && X86_IO_APIC) || IA64 |
| help |
| This allows device drivers to enable MSI (Message Signaled |
| Interrupts). Message Signaled Interrupts enable a device to |
| generate an interrupt using an inbound Memory Write on its |
| PCI bus instead of asserting a device IRQ pin. |
| |
| If you don't know what to do here, say N. |
| |
| config PCI_LEGACY_PROC |
| bool "Legacy /proc/pci interface" |
| depends on PCI |
| ---help--- |
| This feature enables a procfs file -- /proc/pci -- that provides a |
| summary of PCI devices in the system. |
| |
| This feature has been deprecated as of v2.5.53, in favor of using the |
| tool lspci(8). This feature may be removed at a future date. |
| |
| lspci can provide the same data, as well as much more. lspci is a part of |
| the pci-utils package, which should be installed by your distribution. |
| See <file:Documentation/Changes> for information on where to get the latest |
| version. |
| |
| When in doubt, say N. |
| |
| config PCI_NAMES |
| bool "PCI device name database" |
| depends on PCI |
| ---help--- |
| By default, the kernel contains a database of all known PCI device |
| names to make the information in /proc/pci, /proc/ioports and |
| similar files comprehensible to the user. |
| |
| This database increases size of the kernel image by about 80KB. This |
| memory is freed after the system boots up if CONFIG_HOTPLUG is not set. |
| |
| Anyway, if you are building an installation floppy or kernel for an |
| embedded system where kernel image size really matters, you can disable |
| this feature and you'll get device ID numbers instead of names. |
| |
| When in doubt, say Y. |
| |
| config PCI_DEBUG |
| bool "PCI Debugging" |
| depends on PCI && DEBUG_KERNEL |
| help |
| Say Y here if you want the PCI core to produce a bunch of debug |
| messages to the system log. Select this if you are having a |
| problem with PCI support and want to see more of what is going on. |
| |
| When in doubt, say N. |
