help text for the sn2 specific kernel option.

 config IA64_SGI_SN2
 	bool "SGI-SN2"
+	help
+	  Selecting this option will optimize the kernel for use on sn2 based
+	  systems, but the resulting kernel binary will not run on other
+	  types of ia64 systems.  If you have an SGI Altix system, it's safe
+	  to select this option.  If in doubt, select ia64 generic support
+	  instead.
