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.

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 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
f3519f91 55 "Discontiguous Memory". This option provides some potential
