  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.

  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 the extra overhead that
  41           this option imposes.
  42
  43           Many NUMA configurations will have this as the only 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.

 271           The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
 272           of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
 273           allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
 274           more than it requires.  To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
 275           the excess and return it to the allocator.
 276
 277           If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
 278           system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
 279           if there are a lot of transient processes.
 280
 281           If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
 282           long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
 283
 284           Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
 285           (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
 286           excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
 287           no trimming is to occur.
 288
 289           This option specifies the initial value of this option.  The default
 290           of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.
