CONFIG_X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM: Support for extended (non-PC) x86 platforms

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM:

prompt: Support for extended (non-PC) x86 platforms
type: bool
depends on: (none)
defined in arch/x86/Kconfig
found in Linux kernels: 2.6.30–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.14, 6.15-rc+HEAD

If you disable this option then the kernel will only support standard PC platforms. (which covers the vast majority of systems out there.)

If you enable this option then you'll be able to select support for the following non-PC x86 platforms, depending on the value of 64BIT.

32-bit platforms (64BIT=n): Goldfish (mostly Android emulator) Intel CE media processor (CE4100) SoC Intel Quark RDC R-321x SoC

64-bit platforms (64BIT=y): Numascale NumaChip ScaleMP vSMP SGI Ultraviolet Merrifield/Moorefield MID devices Goldfish (mostly Android emulator)

If you have one of these systems, or if you want to build a generic distribution kernel, say Y here - otherwise say N.
