+	help
+	  On some platforms where no separate I/O space exists, there are I/O
+	  hosts which can not be accessed in MMIO mode. Using the logical PIO
+	  mechanism, the host-local I/O resource can be mapped into system
+	  logic PIO space shared with MMIO hosts, such as PCI/PCIe, then the
+	  system can access the I/O devices with the mapped-logic PIO through
+	  I/O accessors.
+
+	  This way has relatively little I/O performance cost. Please make
+	  sure your devices really need this configure item enabled.
+
+	  When in doubt, say N.
