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!

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.

Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().

This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types

of memory corruptions.

If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the kernel
|
|
using gdb. This enlarges your kernel ELF image disk size by several
|
|
megabytes and requires a machine with more than 16 MB, better 32 MB
|
|
RAM to avoid excessive linking time. This is only useful for kernel
|
|
hackers. If unsure, say N.

that GDB prints them as program output, say 'Y'.
