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!

help
If you say Y here then read-write lock processing will count how many
times it has tried to get the lock and issue an error message after
too many attempts. If you suspect a rwlock problem or a kernel
hacker asks for this option then say Y. Otherwise say N.
config DEBUG_SEMAPHORE
bool "Semaphore debugging"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
If you say Y here then semaphore processing will issue lots of
verbose debugging messages. If you suspect a semaphore problem or a
kernel hacker asks for this option then say Y. Otherwise say N.
config ALPHA_LEGACY_START_ADDRESS
bool "Legacy kernel start address"
depends on ALPHA_GENERIC
default n
---help---
The 2.4 kernel changed the kernel start address from 0x310000
to 0x810000 to make room for the Wildfire's larger SRM console.
Recent consoles on Titan and Marvel machines also require the
extra room.
If you're using aboot 0.7 or later, the bootloader will examine the
ELF headers to determine where to transfer control. Unfortunately,
most older bootloaders -- APB or MILO -- hardcoded the kernel start
address rather than examining the ELF headers, and the result is a
hard lockup.
Say Y if you have a broken bootloader. Say N if you do not, or if
you wish to run on Wildfire, Titan, or Marvel.

help
This option is required for IEEE compliant floating point arithmetic
on the Alpha. The only time you would ever not say Y is to say M in
order to debug the code. Say Y unless you know what you are doing.
