- Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial
- port.
- 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 or the X server. You should normally N here,
- unless you want to debug such a crash.

- Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
- This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
- of memory corruptions.

- help
- If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the kernel
- using gdb. This enlarges your kernel ELF image disk size by several
- megabytes and requires a machine with more than 16 MB, better 32 MB
- RAM to avoid excessive linking time. This is only useful for kernel
- hackers. If unsure, say N.

- possible, leaving the program counter at the beginning of
- start_kernel() in init/main.c.

- help
- If you are using GDB for remote debugging over a serial port and
- would like kernel messages to be formatted into GDB $O packets so
- that GDB prints them as program output, say 'Y'.
