If we go through all the Kconfigs for all 440BX boards and identify all
that
have 4 slots, and enter this setting for all of them, done before my
440BX
ram init code is ready. ;-) There is a reason for expert mode, no?
I think this goes beyond expert mode. It seems to me it is a setting that can render the machine unbootable if configured incorrectly. Even for experts, I don't think it should be visible in Kconfig.
I agree. Since the boards used to be hard coded, lets set all the boards to match what they were hard coded to. Then no one gets a broken board from the change. To make it easier, the default Kconfig option could match the hard coded value.
