Public bug reported:
The Maverick 2.6.35 kernel (based on 2.6.34) has a number of
configuration options disabled - they should be enabled for optimal
hardware support and thus end user experience, some with additional
justification:
CONFIG_DMAR
CONFIG_INTR_REMAP "to support platforms with CPU's having > 8 bit APIC ID, say
Y"
CONFIG_PCIEASPM
CONFIG_CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS "including just the first page of the file
in a core dump makes it possible to identify the build ID bits in the file,
without paying the i/o cost and disk space to dump all the text. However,
versions of GDB before 6.7 are confused by ELF core dump files in this format."

In addition, a number of options present legacy drivers which may
prevent the newer drivers from binding to devices, and also include
legacy APIs for old userspace libraries, obsolete in Maverick:
CONFIG_AMD_IOMMU_STATS "If unsure, say N."
CONFIG_X86_MCE_INJECT "if you don't do kernel QA...say n"
CONFIG_K8_NUMA "It is recommended to use X86_64_ACPI_NUMA instead, which also
takes priority if both are compiled"

CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS "For backwards compatibility"
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER "For backwards compatibility"
CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT "Say N if your user-space is newer than kernel 2.6.23
(September 2007)"
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO "This is deprecated"

warned! When in doubt, say N."

console."

CONFIG_SND_SUPPORT_OLD_API "for obselete ALSA libraries ver.0.9.0 rc3 or older"
CONFIG_INFINIBAND_AMSO1100_DEBUG "causes the amso1100 driver to produce a bunch
of debug messages."
CONFIG_RTC_DRV_TEST "You want this driver only if you are doing development on
the RTC subsystem."
