+config PCH
+ bool "Enable Platform-controller Hub (PCH) support"
+ depends on X86 || SANDBOX
+ help
+ Most x86 chips include a PCH which is responsible for handling
+ parts of the system not handled by that CPU. It supersedes the
+ northbridge / southbridge architecture that was previously used. The
+ PCH allows for higher performance since the memory functions are
+ handled in the CPU.
