FreeBSD 5.2 and later

option	status	explanation
options CPU_GEODE	mandatory	This option adds a "Geode" timecounter which is better than the i8254. The reason this option is not optional is that the SC1100 chip has some sort of problem with the i8254 and using it as timecounter results in timekeeping problems.
options CPU_SOEKRIS	recommended	This option sets things up for the soekris board. Right now it doesn't do anything, but /dev/led/error support is being worked on.
