-Plug and Play subsystem (EXPERIMENTAL)
-CONFIG_PNP_DRV
-  This enables support for the new Plug-and-Play (or PnP) Linux
-  subsystems. This support is required for PnP ISA support, and for PnP
-  Legacy support. User-mode utilities for this support may be found at
-  http://www.lpsg.demon.co.uk/pnp-linux.html.
-
-PnP resource management
-CONFIG_KERNEL_PNP_RESOURCE
-  This option will cause the new PnP generic resource management
-  routines to be used instead of the old routines request_xxx and
-  free_xxx. Emulation routines are put in place to support the old
-  calling style. This code support masks for IO decoding (required for
-  Plug and Play devices). There is no need to enable this option unless
-  you want to - these features will still be used where they are needed.
-  However, enabling it will reduce your kernel size slightly, and also
-  allow you to test this code more extensively.
-
-Support for boot-loaded PnP configuration (RECOMMENDED)
-CONFIG_PNP_BLDCONFIG
-  This will enable support for preloading data about the configuration
-  of any Plug-and-Play devices in the system into the kernel at boot
-  time, which means that any devices required at boot can be configured
-  at this time manually. Say Y unless you have a reason not to.
-
-PnP ISA support
-CONFIG_PNP_ISA
-  This option is required to allow the Linux PnP subsystem to handle
-  Plug and Play ISA devices. This includes full support for PnP ISA,
-  including the I/O range check feature.
-
-PnP ISA backwards-compatibility support
-CONFIG_PNP_ISA_COMPAT
-  This option will enable partial backwards compatibility with drivers
-  written using older versions (up to the last 0.2.x) of the PnP driver
-  written by Tom Lees <tom@lpsg.demon.co.uk>.
-
-PnP Legacy device support
-CONFIG_PNP_LEGACY
-  Before PnP ISA was standardized, several "jumperless", or
-  "soft-configurable" boards were finding their way onto the market.
-  These cards used somewhat proprietary mechanisms for configuring
-  IRQs, DMAs, IO addresses, and memory ranges. These devices (mainly
-  network cards, but also some sound cards) can be configured as any
-  other PnP device can by saying Y here, if appropriate drivers
-  for these devices are available.
-
-PnP sysctl support (RECOMMENDED)
-CONFIG_PNP_SYSCTL
-  This option enables support for the user-mode interface to the
-  kernel-mode PnP systems. It requires that you said Y to "Sysctl
-  support" above.  The only reason you might want to switch this off
-  is if you aren't going to use user-mode utilities to configure PnP,
-  and you want to save a couple of kilobytes of kernel space. Answer Y
-  unless you know what you are doing. User-mode utilities and a
-  library for accessing this interface may be found at
-  http://www.lpsg.demon.co.uk/pnp-linux.html.
-
-PnP auto-configures all devices on startup
-CONFIG_PNP_BOOTINIT
-  This option will allow the PnP subsystem to automatically configure
-  all the PnP devices it finds upon system startup (or at least
-  attempt to). This is useful if you have older drivers which do not use
-  the Linux-PnP system to configure PnP devices, and which you need
-  to be configured by PnP before you can use them.
