[PATCH] mm/Kconfig: give DISCONTIG more help text 

This gives DISCONTIGMEM a bit more help text to explain what it does, not just
when to choose it.

  26 + This option provides enhanced support for discontiguous
  27 + memory systems, over FLATMEM. These systems have holes
  28 + in their physical address spaces, and this option provides
  29 + more efficient handling of these holes. However, the vast
  30 + majority of hardware has quite flat address spaces, and
  31 + can have degraded performance from extra overhead that
  32 + this option imposes.
  33 +
  34 + Many NUMA configurations will have this as the only option.
  35 +
26 36 If unsure, choose "Flat Memory" over this option.
