Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial

|
port.
|
|
|

This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
|
|
early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
|
|
it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
|
|
with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,
|

unless you want to debug such a crash.

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

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