- Say Y here if you want to plug devices into your computer while
- the system is running, and be able to use them quickly. In many
- cases, the devices can likewise be unplugged at any time too.
+ This option is provided for the case where no in-kernel-tree
+ modules require HOTPLUG functionality, but a module built
+ outside the kernel tree does. Such modules require Y here.
- One well known example of this is PCMCIA- or PC-cards, credit-card
- size devices such as network cards, modems or hard drives which are
- plugged into slots found on all modern laptop computers. Another
- example, used on modern desktops as well as laptops, is USB.
-
- Enable HOTPLUG and KMOD, and build a modular kernel. Get agent
- software (at <http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/>) and install it.
- Then your kernel will automatically call out to a user mode "policy
- agent" (/sbin/hotplug) to load modules and set up software needed
- to use devices as you hotplug them.

+ help
+ This option enables the kernel userspace event layer, which is a
+ simple mechanism for kernel-to-user communication over a netlink
+ socket.
+ The goal of the kernel userspace events layer is to provide a simple
+ and efficient events system, that notifies userspace about kobject
+ state changes. This will enable applications to just listen for
+ events instead of polling system devices and files.
+ Hotplug events (kobject addition and removal) are also available on
+ the netlink socket in addition to the execution of /sbin/hotplug if
+ CONFIG_HOTPLUG is enabled.
+
+ Say Y, unless you are building a system requiring minimal memory
+ consumption.

The shmem is an internal filesystem used to manage shared memory.
It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported
option replaces shmem and tmpfs with the much simpler ramfs code,

Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If
unsure, say N.
