+ This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of

+ interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
+ superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
+
+ Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
+ entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
+ kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
+ boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
+ the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
+ IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
+ kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
+ way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
+ the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
+ down (vital) interrupt lines.
+
+ Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
+ increased on these systems.

The kernel will try to allocate memory used by a CPU on the
local memory controller of the CPU and add some more
NUMA awareness to the kernel.
- For 32-bit this is currently highly experimental and should be only
- used for kernel development. It might also cause boot failures.
- For 64-bit this is recommended on all multiprocessor Opteron systems.

+ For 64-bit this is recommended if the system is Intel Core i7
+ (or later), AMD Opteron, or EM64T NUMA.
+
+ For 32-bit this is only needed on (rare) 32-bit-only platforms
+ that support NUMA topologies, such as NUMAQ / Summit, or if you
+ boot a 32-bit kernel on a 64-bit NUMA platform.
+
+ Otherwise, you should say N.
