/**
* @page platforminstall Platform Build Options.
*
* Build options are boolean constants. The purpose of build options is to remove code
* from the build to reduce the overall code size present in the ROM image. Unless
* otherwise specified, the default action is to include all options. If a build option is
* not specifically listed as disabled, then it is included into the build.
*
* The documented build options are imported from a user controlled file for
* processing. The build options for all platform solutions are listed below:
*
* @anchor BLDOPT_REMOVE_UDIMMS_SUPPORT
* @li @e BLDOPT_REMOVE_UDIMMS_SUPPORT @n
* If unbuffered DIMMs are NOT expected to be required in the system, the code that
* handles unbuffered DIMMs can be removed from the build.
*
* @anchor BLDOPT_REMOVE_RDIMMS_SUPPORT
* @li @e BLDOPT_REMOVE_RDIMMS_SUPPORT @n
* If registered DIMMs are NOT expected to be required in the system, the code
* that handles registered DIMMs can be removed from the build.
*
* @anchor BLDOPT_REMOVE_LRDIMMS_SUPPORT
* @li @e BLDOPT_REMOVE_LRDIMMS_SUPPORT @n
* If Load Reduced DIMMs are NOT expected to be required in the system, the code
* that handles Load Reduced DIMMs can be removed from the build.
*
* @note The above three options operate independently from each other; however, at
* least one of the unbuffered , registered or load reduced DIMM options must be present in the build.
*
* @anchor BLDOPT_REMOVE_ECC_SUPPORT
* @li @e BLDOPT_REMOVE_ECC_SUPPORT @n
* Use this option to remove the code for Error Checking & Correction.
*
* @anchor BLDOPT_REMOVE_BANK_INTERLEAVE
* @li @e BLDOPT_REMOVE_BANK_INTERLEAVE @n
* Interleaving is a mechanism to do performance fine tuning. This option
* interleaves memory between banks on a DIMM.
*
* @anchor BLDOPT_REMOVE_DCT_INTERLEAVE
* @li @e BLDOPT_REMOVE_DCT_INTERLEAVE @n
* Interleaving is a mechanism to do performance fine tuning. This option
* interleaves memory from two DRAM controllers.
*
* @anchor BLDOPT_REMOVE_NODE_INTERLEAVE
* @li @e BLDOPT_REMOVE_NODE_INTERLEAVE @n
* Interleaving is a mechanism to do performance fine tuning. This option
* interleaves memory from two HyperTransport nodes.
*
* @anchor BLDOPT_REMOVE_PARALLEL_TRAINING
* @li @e BLDOPT_REMOVE_PARALLEL_TRAINING @n
* For multi-socket systems, training memory in parallel can reduce the time
* needed to boot.
*
* @anchor BLDOPT_REMOVE_ONLINE_SPARE_SUPPORT
* @li @e BLDOPT_REMOVE_ONLINE_SPARE_SUPPORT @n
* Online Spare support is removed by this option.
*
* @anchor BLDOPT_REMOVE_MULTISOCKET_SUPPORT
* @li @e BLDOPT_REMOVE_MULTISOCKET_SUPPORT @n
* Many systems use only a single socket and may benefit in code space to remove
* this code. However, certain processors have multiple HyperTransport nodes
* within a single socket. For these processors, the multi-node support is
* required and this option has no effect.
*
* @anchor BLDOPT_REMOVE_ACPI_PSTATES
* @li @e BLDOPT_REMOVE_ACPI_PSTATES @n
* This option removes the code that generates the ACPI tables used in power
* management.

* This option removes the code that generates the SLIT tables used in performance
* tuning.
*

/**
* @page examplecustomizations Customization Examples
*
* The Addendum \<plat\>Options.c file for each platform contains the minimum required
* customizations for that platform. That is, it contains settings which would be needed
* to boot a SimNow! bsd for that platform.
* However, each individual product based on that platform will have customizations necessary for
* that hardware. Since the actual customizations needed vary so much, they are not included in
* the \<plat\>Options.c. This section provides examples of useful customizations that you can use or
* modify to suit your needs.

* The following deemphasis list provides an example for a 2P MCM Max Performance configuration.
* High Speed HT frequencies are supported. There is only one non-coherent chain. Note the technique of
* putting specified link matches before all uses of match any. It often works well to specify the non-coherent links
* and use match any for the coherent links.

* Dinar system as in an earlier example, but this time all the coherent links are explicitly customized (as
* might be needed if each link has unique characterization). For this example, we skip the non-coherent chains.
* (A real system would have to include them, see example above.)
