15	help
16	  This option allows you to change some of the ways that
17	  Linux manages its memory internally.  Most users will
18	  only have one option here: FLATMEM.  This is normal
19	  and a correct option.
20
21	  Some users of more advanced features like NUMA and
22	  memory hotplug may have different options here.
23	  DISCONTIGMEM is an more mature, better tested system,
24	  but is incompatible with memory hotplug and may suffer
25	  decreased performance over SPARSEMEM.  If unsure between
26	  "Sparse Memory" and "Discontiguous Memory", choose
27	  "Discontiguous Memory".
28
29	  If unsure, choose this option (Flat Memory) over any other.

31config DISCONTIGMEM_MANUAL
32	bool "Discontiguous Memory"
33	depends on ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE
34	help
35	  This option provides enhanced support for discontiguous
36	  memory systems, over FLATMEM.  These systems have holes
37	  in their physical address spaces, and this option provides
38	  more efficient handling of these holes.  However, the vast
39	  majority of hardware has quite flat address spaces, and
40	  can have degraded performance from the extra overhead that
41	  this option imposes.
42
43	  Many NUMA configurations will have this as the only option.
44
45	  If unsure, choose "Flat Memory" over this option.
46
47config SPARSEMEM_MANUAL
48	bool "Sparse Memory"
49	depends on ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE
50	help
51	  This will be the only option for some systems, including
52	  memory hotplug systems.  This is normal.
53
54	  For many other systems, this will be an alternative to
55	  "Discontiguous Memory".  This option provides some potential
56	  performance benefits, along with decreased code complexity,
57	  but it is newer, and more experimental.
58
59	  If unsure, choose "Discontiguous Memory" or "Flat Memory"
60	  over this option.
