Description

Can you add several parameters to CDS kernel?

1) Add CONFIG_TASKSTATS and its subtree, CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT, CONFIG_TASK_XACCT and CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING (General setup ⟶ Export task/process statistics through netlink, Enable per-task delay accounting, Enable extended accounting over taskstats and Enable per-task ctorage I/O accounting). It's need by sys-process/iotop, very useful system utility for server.

2) Add CONFIG_HZ_100 (Processor type and features ⟶ Timer frequency ⟶ 100 Hz). This is common selection for server.

3) Add CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI and subtree (Bus options (PCI, etc) ⟶ Support for PCI hotplug). For server motherboard it's often feature.

4) Add CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV and common-used controller drivers ( Device drivers ⟶ I2C support ⟶ I2C device interface and in this menu I2C Hardware Bus support ⟶ define "M" for AMD, Intel, Nvidia, Sis, Ali chipsets and SMBus Control Method interface for ACPI). Also add build as a modules all sensors in Device Drivers ⟶ Hardware Monitoring support. All of this needed by sys-apps/lm_sensors, best hardware monitoring utility, commonly used on servers .

Also, i would have to remove all modules/drivers/options related to notebooks.

All of this related only for server kernel. For most enduser this kernel modifications not required in most cases.
