  config PAGE_EXTENSION

  	---help---
  	  Extend memmap on extra space for more information on page. This
  	  could be used for debugging features that need to insert extra
  	  field for every page. This extension enables us to save memory
  	  by not allocating this extra memory according to boottime
  	  configuration.

  	  Also, the state of page tracking structures is checked more often as

  	  This is a feature to add tracepoint for tracking down page reference
  	  manipulation. This tracking is useful to diagnose functional failure
  	  due to migration failures caused by page reference mismatches.  Be
  	  careful when enabling this feature because it adds about 30 KB to the
  	  kernel code.  However the runtime performance overhead is virtually
  	  nil until the tracepoints are actually enabled.
