# SMP OPTIONS:
#
# The apic device enables the use of the I/O APIC for interrupt delivery.
# The apic device can be used in both UP and SMP kernels, but is required
# for SMP kernels. Thus, the apic device is not strictly an SMP option,
# but it is a prerequisite for SMP.
#
# Notes:
#
# By default, mixed mode is used to route IRQ0 from the AT timer via
# the 8259A master PIC through the ExtINT pin on the first I/O APIC.
# This can be disabled via the NO_MIXED_MODE option. In that case,
# IRQ0 will be routed via an intpin on the first I/O APIC. Not all
# motherboards hook IRQ0 up to the first I/O APIC even though their
# MP table or MADT may claim to do so. That is why mixed mode is
# enabled by default.
#
# Optional:
device atpic # Optional legacy pic support
device mptable # Optional MPSPEC mptable support
options NO_MIXED_MODE # Disable use of mixed mode
#####################################################################
# CPU OPTIONS
#
# You must specify at least one CPU (the one you intend to run on);
# deleting the specification for CPUs you don't need to use may make
# parts of the system run faster.

#####################################################################
# NETWORKING OPTIONS
#
# DEVICE_POLLING adds support for mixed interrupt-polling handling
# of network device drivers, which has significant benefits in terms
# of robustness to overloads and responsivity, as well as permitting
# accurate scheduling of the CPU time between kernel network processing
# and other activities. The drawback is a moderate (up to 1/HZ seconds)
# potential increase in response times.
# DEVICE_POLLING does not work with SMP.
# It is strongly recommended to use HZ=1000 or 2000 with DEVICE_POLLING
# to achieve smoother behaviour.
# Additionally, you can enable/disable polling at runtime with the
# sysctl variable kern.polling.enable (defaults off), and select
# the CPU fraction reserved to userland with the sysctl variable
# kern.polling.user_frac (default 50, range 0..100).
#
# Not all device drivers support this mode of operation at the time of
# this writing. See polling(4) for more details.

# CLOCK OPTIONS
# The following options are used for debugging clock behavior only, and
# should not be used for production systems.
# CLK_CALIBRATION_LOOP causes clock calibration to be run in a loop at
# startup until the user presses a key. (The i8254 clock is always
# calibrated relative to the RTC (mc146818a) and this option causes the
# calibration to be repeated.)

# CLK_USE_I8254_CALIBRATION causes the calibrated frequency of the i8254
# clock to actually be used.

# AUTO_EOI_1 enables the `automatic EOI' feature for the master 8259A
# interrupt controller. This saves about 0.7-1.25 usec for each interrupt.
# This option breaks suspend/resume on some portables.
#
# AUTO_EOI_2 enables the `automatic EOI' feature for the slave 8259A
# interrupt controller. This saves about 0.7-1.25 usec for each interrupt.
# Automatic EOI is documented not to work for for the slave with the
# original i8259A, but it works for some clones and some integrated
# versions.
#
# MAXMEM specifies the amount of RAM on the machine; if this is not
# specified, FreeBSD will first read the amount of memory from the CMOS
# RAM, so the amount of memory will initially be limited to 64MB or 16MB
# depending on the BIOS. If the BIOS reports 64MB, a memory probe will
# then attempt to detect the installed amount of RAM. If this probe
# fails to detect >64MB RAM you will have to use the MAXMEM option.
# The amount is in kilobytes, so for a machine with 128MB of RAM, it would
# be 131072 (128 * 1024).

# BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET disables the use of the keyboard controller to
# reset the CPU for reboot. This is needed on some systems with broken
