 	  Say Y to include the NWFPE floating point emulator in the kernel.
-	  This is necessary to run most binaries. Linux does not currently
-	  support floating point hardware so you need to say Y here even if
-	  your machine has an FPA or floating point co-processor podule.
 
-	  You may say N here if you are going to load the Acorn FPEmulator
-	  early in the bootup.
+	  This is only used on OABI userspace binaries, either using a
+	  pure OABI (!CONFIG_AEABI) kernel, or the OABI emulation.
+
+	  Support for NWFPE will be removed in the future when OABI
+	  support is removed.
