 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * depends on PPC_PSERIES
 * (on/off) Support for shared-processor logical partitions
 * default n
 * Enabling this option will make the kernel run more efficiently on logically-partitioned pSeries systems which use shared processors, that is, which share physical processors between two or more partitions.


 * Option: HMT
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) Hardware multithreading
 * depends on SMP && PPC_PSERIES && BROKEN
 * This option enables hardware multithreading on RS64 cpus. pSeries systems p620 and p660 have such a cpu type.


 * Option: EEH
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) PCI Extended Error Handling (EEH) if EMBEDDED
 * depends on PPC_PSERIES
 * default y if !EMBEDDED
