---help---
- This setting determines the processor protection level the
- kernel will be built to run at. Generally you should use
- the default value here.
+ Since MDE 4.2, the Tilera hypervisor runs the kernel
+ at PL2 by default. If running under an older hypervisor,
+ or as a KVM guest, you must run at PL1. (The current
+ hypervisor may also be recompiled with "make HV_PL=2" to
+ allow it to run a kernel at PL1, but clients running at PL1
+ are not expected to be supported indefinitely.)
+
+ If you're not sure, don't change the default.
