  	  This option gives you the ability to force a static link of UML.
  	  Normally, UML is linked as a shared binary.  This is inconvenient for
  	  use in a chroot jail.  So, if you intend to run UML inside a chroot,
  	  you probably want to say Y here.
  	  Additionally, this option enables using higher memory spaces (up to
  	  2.75G) for UML.

            While the User-Mode Linux port uses its own root file system for
            booting and normal file access, this module lets the UML user
            access files stored on the host.  It does not require any
            network connection between the Host and UML.  An example use of
            this might be:

  	  hppfs (HoneyPot ProcFS) is a filesystem which allows UML /proc
  	  entries to be overridden, removed, or fabricated from the host.
  	  Its purpose is to allow a UML to appear to be a physical machine
  	  by removing or changing anything in /proc which gives away the
  	  identity of a UML.

            The user mode linux management console is a low-level interface to
            the kernel, somewhat like the i386 SysRq interface.  Since there is
            a full-blown operating system running under every user mode linux
            instance, there is much greater flexibility possible than with the
            SysRq mechanism.

            If you answer 'Y' to this option, to use this feature, you need the
            mconsole client (called uml_mconsole) which is present in CVS in
            2.4.5-9um and later (path /tools/mconsole), and is also in the
            distribution RPM package in 2.4.6 and later.

  	  Obviously, if the host is a uniprocessor, those processes will
  	  timeshare, but, inside UML, will appear to be running simultaneously.
  	  If the host is a multiprocessor, then UML processes may run
  	  simultaneously, depending on the host scheduler.

  	  This, however, is supported only in TT mode. So, if you use the SKAS
  	  patch on your host, switching to TT mode and enabling SMP usually
  	  gives	you worse performances.
  	  Also, since the support for SMP has been under-developed, there could
  	  be some bugs being exposed by enabling SMP.
