| help |
| This option allows you to change some of the ways that |
| Linux manages its memory internally. Most users will |
| only have one option here: FLATMEM. This is normal |
| and a correct option. |
| |
| 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. |

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

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