+ The /dev/mem file by default only allows userspace access to PCI
+ space and the BIOS code and data regions. This is sufficient for
+ dosemu and X and all common users of /dev/mem. With this config
+ option, you allow userspace access to all of memory, including
+ kernel and userspace memory. Accidental access to this is

If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.

+ Allow the use of custom page fault handlers. A kernel module may

+config OPTIMIZE_INLINING
+ bool "Allow gcc to uninline functions marked 'inline'"
+ depends on BROKEN
+ help
+ This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
+ developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
+ do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
+ compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
+ disabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
+ this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc4 to make the decision can
+ become the default in the future, until then this option is there to
+ test gcc for this.
