+Description:
+
+  As a Kconfig option, individual GPIO signals may be accessed from
+  userspace.  GPIOs are only made available to userspace by an explicit
+  "export" operation.  If a given GPIO is not claimed for use by
+  kernel code, it may be exported by userspace (and unexported later).
+  Kernel code may export it for complete or partial access.
+
+  GPIOs are identified as they are inside the kernel, using integers in
+  the range 0..INT_MAX.  See Documentation/gpio.txt for more information.
