+config EARLY_PRINTK
+	bool "Early printk" if EMBEDDED
+	depends on SYS_HAS_EARLY_PRINTK
+	default y
+	help
+	  This option enables special console drivers which allow the kernel
+	  to print messages very early in the bootup process.
+
+	  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 on some machines and
+	  doesn't cooperate with an X server. You should normally say N here,
+	  unless you want to debug such a crash.
+
+config CMDLINE_BOOL
+	bool "Built-in kernel command line"
+	default n
+	help
+	  For most systems, it is firmware or second stage bootloader that
+	  by default specifies the kernel command line options.  However,
+	  it might be necessary or advantageous to either override the
+	  default kernel command line or add a few extra options to it.
+	  For such cases, this option allows you to hardcode your own
+	  command line options directly into the kernel.  For that, you
+	  should choose 'Y' here, and fill in the extra boot arguments
+	  in CONFIG_CMDLINE.
+
+	  The built-in options will be concatenated to the default command
+	  line if CMDLINE_OVERRIDE is set to 'N'. Otherwise, the default
+	  command line will be ignored and replaced by the built-in string.
+
+	  Most MIPS systems will normally expect 'N' here and rely upon
+	  the command line from the firmware or the second-stage bootloader.
