  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.

  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.

  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.
