163a9da765SDave Hansen	  This option allows you to change some of the ways that
173a9da765SDave Hansen	  Linux manages its memory internally.  Most users will
183a9da765SDave Hansen	  only have one option here: FLATMEM.  This is normal
193a9da765SDave Hansen	  and a correct option.
203a9da765SDave Hansen
21d41dee36SAndy Whitcroft	  Some users of more advanced features like NUMA and
22d41dee36SAndy Whitcroft	  memory hotplug may have different options here.
23d41dee36SAndy Whitcroft	  DISCONTIGMEM is an more mature, better tested system,
24d41dee36SAndy Whitcroft	  but is incompatible with memory hotplug and may suffer
25d41dee36SAndy Whitcroft	  decreased performance over SPARSEMEM.  If unsure between

27d41dee36SAndy Whitcroft	  "Discontiguous Memory".
