  	  Linux manages its memory internally.  Most users will
  	  only have one option here: FLATMEM.  This is normal

  	  Some users of more advanced features like NUMA and
  	  memory hotplug may have different options here.
  	  DISCONTIGMEM is an more mature, better tested system,
  	  but is incompatible with memory hotplug and may suffer
  	  decreased performance over SPARSEMEM.  If unsure between
  	  "Sparse Memory" and "Discontiguous Memory", choose
  	  "Discontiguous Memory".
  
  	  If unsure, choose this option (Flat Memory) over any other.

  	int "Turn on mmap() excess space trimming before booting"

  	default 1
  	help
  	  The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
  	  of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
  	  allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
  	  more than it requires.  To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
  	  the excess and return it to the allocator.
  
  	  If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
  	  system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
  	  if there are a lot of transient processes.
  
  	  If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
  	  long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
  
  	  Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
  	  (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
  	  excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
  	  no trimming is to occur.
  
  	  This option specifies the initial value of this option.  The default
  	  of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.
  
  	  See Documentation/nommu-mmap.txt for more information.

  	  Cleancache can be thought of as a page-granularity victim cache
  	  for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
  	  (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough
  	  memory.  So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use

  	  "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
  	  addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
  	  time-varying size.  And when a cleancache-enabled
  	  filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
  	  checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
  	  the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
  	  When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or
  	  Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
  	  may be achieved.  When none is available, all cleancache calls
  	  are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting
  	  in a negligible performance hit.
  
  	  If unsure, say Y to enable cleancache
