+ ---help---
+
+ This option enables kernel support for the PowerPC Initiate
+ Coprocessor Store Word (icswx) coprocessor instruction on POWER7
+ or newer processors.
+
+ This option is only useful if you have a processor that supports
+ the icswx coprocessor instruction. It does not have any effect
