Firmware Drivers
This interface let you select features and parameters for the build.
<*> BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive calls determine boot disk x x
to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive Services real mode BIOS calls to determine which disk
BIOS tries boot from.
x x [*] Sets default behavior for EDD detection to off x x
Say Y if you want EDD disabled by default, even though it is compiled into the kernel. Say N if you want EDD enabled by default.
x x [*] Add firmware-provided memory map to sysfs x x
Add the firmware-provided (unmodified) memory map to /sys/firmware/memmap. That memory map is used for example by kexec to set up parameter area x
for the next kernel, but can also be used for debugging purposes.
x x <*> EFI Variable Support via sysfs x x
to get EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) variable information via sysfs.
x x <M> BIOS update support for DELL systems via sysfs x x
to have the option of updating the BIOS for your DELL system.

provides a sysfs interface for systems management software to perform System Management
Interrupts (SMIs) and Host Control Actions (system power cycle or power off after OS shutdown) on certain Dell systems.
x x [*] iSCSI Boot Firmware Table Attributes x x
This option enables the kernel to find the region of memory in which the ISCSI Boot Firmware Table (iBFT) resides. This
is necessary for iSCSI Boot Firmware Table Attributes module to work properly.
x x <M> iSCSI Boot Firmware Table Attributes module x x
This option enables support for detection and exposing of iSCSI Boot Firmware Table (iBFT) via sysfs to userspace.
x x [ ] Google Firmware Drivers
These firmware drivers are used by Google's servers. They are only useful if you are working directly on one of their
proprietary servers.
