CONFIG_ALTIVEC=y

When a kernel is compiled with CONFIG_ALTIVEC=y, I assume this
means that the kernel is aware of the Altivec registers, and keeps
track of their contents during context switches?  And that code
which uses Altivec instructions/registers will run properly with such
a kernel?  Thanks,
