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

  	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.
