	  Include in-kernel hooks for the xmon kernel monitor/debugger.

	  Unless you are intending to debug the kernel, say N here.

	  Make sure to enable also CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT on Macs. Otherwise

	  nothing will appear on the screen (xmon writes directly to the

	  framebuffer memory).

	  The cmdline option 'xmon' or 'xmon=early' will drop into xmon very

	  early during boot. 'xmon=on' will just enable the xmon debugger hooks.

	  'xmon=off' will disable the debugger hooks if CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT is set.

	help

	  xmon is normally disabled unless booted with 'xmon=on'.

	  Use 'xmon=off' to disable xmon init during runtime.
