            Compaction is the only memory management component to form
            high order (larger physically contiguous) memory blocks
            reliably. The page allocator relies on compaction heavily and
            the lack of the feature can lead to unexpected OOM killer
            invocations for high order memory requests. You shouldn't
            disable this option unless there really is a strong reason for
            it and then we would be really interested to hear about that at
            linux-mm@kvack.org.

  	  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.

  	  This is the maximum stack size in Megabytes in the VM layout of 32-bit
  	  user processes when the stack grows upwards (currently only on parisc
  	  and metag arch). The stack will be located at the highest memory
  	  address minus the given value, unless the RLIMIT_STACK hard limit is
  	  changed to a smaller value in which case that is used.
  
  	  A sane initial value is 80 MB.
