| Write kernel log output directly via the hypervisor console. |
| |
| 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. You should normally N here, |
| unless you want to debug such a crash. |

| help |
| Debug info can be large, and flags like |
| `-femit-struct-debug-baseonly' can reduce the kernel file |
| size and build time noticeably. Such flags are often |
| helpful if the main use of debug info is line number info. |

| help |
| Provide wrapper functions for the hypervisor ABI calls |
| defined in arch/tile/kernel/hvglue.S. This allows tracing |
| mechanisms, etc., to have visibility into those calls. |
