153	  size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.

172	  comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ
173	  filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ
174	  will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA.
175

229	  DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>),
230	  you'll need to say Y here.

278	  If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to map
279	  file names to handle and then later use the handle for
280	  different file system operations. This is useful in implementing
281	  userspace file servers, which now track files using handles instead
282	  of names. The handle would remain the same even if file names
283	  get renamed. Enables open_by_handle_at(2) and name_to_handle_at(2)

292	  system call.  If you intend to run programs built on libc5 or

1674	   SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage
1675	   instead of managing queues of cached objects (SLAB approach).
1676	   Per cpu caching is realized using slabs of objects instead
1677	   of queues of objects. SLUB can use memory efficiently
1678	   and has enhanced diagnostics. SLUB is the default choice for

1774	help
1775	  Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1776	  be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1777	  permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
1778	  tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here,
1779	  many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1780	  answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1781	  useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1782	  for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
1783	  modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1784
1785	  If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1786	  modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1787	  where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do

1814	  This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the

1836	  see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1837	  others sometimes change the module source without updating
1838	  the version).  With this option, such a "srcversion" field
