EATA ISA/EISA/PCI (DPT and generic EATA/DMA-compliant boards) support
CONFIG_SCSI_EATA
This driver supports all the EATA/DMA-compliant SCSI host adapters
- and does not need any BIOS32 or PCI BIOS service.
- Only ISA (0x1F0, 0x170, 0x230, 0x330) and EISA (0x1C88 through 0xFC88)
- addresses are probed. In order to detect a generic EATA PCI board you
- can force on it any unused EISA address.

Note that there is also another driver for the same hardware:
"EATA-DMA support". You should enable only one of them.

-SMB long filename support (EXPERIMENTAL)
-CONFIG_SMB_LONG
- SMBFS was designed to support long filenames using the LanManager
- 2.0 protocol. I had to find out that the support for long filenames
- sometimes causes problems, which can even result in kernel OOPSes. I
- did not yet find out what the problem is, but hopefully I will find
