  16          This option allows you to change some of the ways that
  17          Linux manages its memory internally.  Most users will
  18          only have one option here: FLATMEM.  This is normal
  19          and a correct option.
  20
  21          Some users of more advanced features like NUMA and
  22          memory hotplug may have different options here.
  23          DISCONTIGMEM is an more mature, better tested system,
  24          but is incompatible with memory hotplug and may suffer
  25          decreased performance over SPARSEMEM.  If unsure between
  26          "Sparse Memory" and "Discontiguous Memory", choose
  27          "Discontiguous Memory".
  28
  29          If unsure, choose this option (Flat Memory) over any other.

  31config DISCONTIGMEM_MANUAL

  33        depends on ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE
  34        help
  35          This option provides enhanced support for discontiguous
  36          memory systems, over FLATMEM.  These systems have holes
  37          in their physical address spaces, and this option provides
  38          more efficient handling of these holes.  However, the vast
  39          majority of hardware has quite flat address spaces, and
  40          can have degraded performance from extra overhead that
  41          this option imposes.
  42
  43          Many NUMA configurations will have this as the only option.
  44
  45          If unsure, choose "Flat Memory" over this option.

  47config SPARSEMEM_MANUAL

  50        help
  51          This will be the only option for some systems, including
  52          memory hotplug systems.  This is normal.
  53
  54          For many other systems, this will be an alternative to
  55          "Discontiguous Memory".  This option provides some potential
  56          performance benefits, along with decreased code complexity,
  57          but it is newer, and more experimental.
  58
  59          If unsure, choose "Discontiguous Memory" or "Flat Memory"
  60          over this option.
