-	  Xenomai Kernel part.
+	  Xenomai is split in two parts: a kernel part and a userspace
+	  part. Enabling this option automatically selects the Xenomai
+	  package and helps in patching the Linux kernel built by
+	  Buildroot with the Xenomai kernel part (ie Adeos/Ipipe).
 
 
-	  In the current version of Xenomai, the following kernel
-	  versions are supported: on Blackfin, 2.6.34 and 2.6.36.9, on
-	  SH4, 2.6.32.10, on x86, 2.6.35.9, 2.6.37.6, 2.6.38.8, on
-	  ARM, 2.6.35.9, 2.6.37.6, 2.6.38.8, on NIOS2, 2.6.35, on
-	  PowerPC, 2.6.35.7, 2.6.36.4, 3.0.8.
+	  You can find the currently supported kernel versions by
+	  looking at the available patches in the Xenomai sources
+	  tree: ksrc/arch/$(ARCH)/patches
+
+	  However, it is recommended to use the latest version of the
+	  Adeos/Ipipe patch available at
+	  http://download.gna.org/adeos/patches
+
+	  Xenomai is know to support Blackfin, SH4, x86, ARM, NIOS2
+	  and PowerPC architectures.
