menuconfig SFI
        bool "SFI (Simple Firmware Interface) Support"
        ---help---
        The Simple Firmware Interface (SFI) provides a lightweight method
        for platform firmware to pass information to the operating system
        via static tables in memory.  Kernel SFI support is required to
        boot on SFI-only platforms.  Currently, all SFI-only platforms are
        based on the 2nd generation Intel Atom processor platform,
        code-named Moorestown.

        For more information, see http://simplefirmware.org

        Say 'Y' here to enable the kernel to boot on SFI-only platforms.

I have no idea how common this is but Fedora does enable this option.
If you are interested in salvaging this, please speak up!

Thanks,
Laura
