+ This option enables kernel support for the Vector Scaler extensions
+ to the PowerPC processor. The kernel currently supports saving and
+ restoring VSX registers, and turning on the 'VSX enable' bit so user
+ processes can execute VSX instructions.
+
+ This option is only useful if you have a processor that supports
+ VSX (P7 and above), but does not have any affect on a non-VSX
+ CPUs (it does, however add code to the kernel).
