Thanks Geert

I will implement it like this.

config HWZOL
bool "hardware zero overhead loop support"
depends on CPU_D10 || CPU_D15
default n
help
A set of Zero-Overhead Loop mechanism is provided to reduce the
instruction fetch and execution overhead of loop-control instructions.
It will save 3 registers($LB, $LC, $LE) for context saving if say Y.
You don't need to save these registers if you can make sure your user
program doesn't use these registers.

If unsure, say N.

config CPU_CACHE_ALIASING
bool "Aliasing cache"
depends on CPU_N10 || CPU_D10 || CPU_N13 || CPU_V3
default y
help
If this CPU is using VIPT data cache and its cache way size is larger
than page size, say Y. If it is using PIPT data cache, say N.

If unsure, say Y.
