>Description:

The NOTES file contains a wrong entry on amd64:

# Enable Linux ABI emulation
#XXX#options    COMPAT_LINUX

Only COMPAT_IA32 and COMPAT_LINUX32 is necessary for running linux binaries, if I put
"options COMPAT_LINUX" into my kernel config file I get this error:

root at server# config GENERIC
GENERIC: unknown option "COMPAT_LINUX"

This is present on 5.x, 6-BETA1, 7-CURRENT.

Sorry for making this high priority I've just thought this little bug can have been fixed by the time
6-BETA2 gets released.

>How-To-Repeat:

That line should be removed.
