Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

# !SMP for now because the context switch early causes GPF in segment reloading
# and the GS base checking does the wrong thing then, causing a hang.
config CHECKING
bool "Additional run-time checks"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !SMP
help
Enables some internal consistency checks for kernel debugging.
You should normally say N.
config INIT_DEBUG
bool "Debug __init statements"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
Fill __init and __initdata at the end of boot. This helps debugging
illegal uses of __init and __initdata after initialization.
config IOMMU_DEBUG
depends on GART_IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
help
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
details.
config KPROBES
bool "Kprobes"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
If in doubt, say "N".
config IOMMU_LEAK
bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
depends on IOMMU_DEBUG
help
Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.
