This gives DISCONTIGMEM a bit more help text to explain what it does, not just when to choose it. Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

bool "Discontigious Memory"

help
|
||||
This option provides enhanced support for discontiguous
|
||||
memory systems, over FLATMEM. These systems have holes
|
||||
in their physical address spaces, and this option provides
|
||||
more efficient handling of these holes. However, the vast
|
||||
majority of hardware has quite flat address spaces, and
|
||||
can have degraded performance from extra overhead that
|
||||
this option imposes.
|
||||
|
||||
Many NUMA configurations will have this as the only option.
|
||||
|
||||
If unsure, choose "Flat Memory" over this option.
