+ help
+ Select the resource to reserve for the Exception handler:
+ - RETN: Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI)
+ - RETE: Exception Return (JTAG/ICE)
+ - CYCLES: Performance counter

+ bool "RETN"
+ help
+ Use the RETN register in the Blackfin exception handler
+ as a stack scratch register. This means you cannot
+ safely use NMI on the Blackfin while running Linux, but
+ you can debug the system with a JTAG ICE and use the
+ CYCLES performance registers.

+ If you are unsure, please select "RETN".

+ help
+ Use the RETE register in the Blackfin exception handler
+ as a stack scratch register. This means you cannot
+ safely use a JTAG ICE while debugging a Blackfin board,
+ but you can safely use the CYCLES performance registers
+ and the NMI.

+ If you are unsure, please select "RETN".

+ help
+ Use the CYCLES register in the Blackfin exception handler

+ safely use the CYCLES performance registers on a Blackfin
+ board at anytime, but you can debug the system with a JTAG
+ ICE and use the NMI.
