|
|
+ This option provides enhanced support for discontiguous
|
|
|
+ memory systems, over FLATMEM. These systems have holes
|
|
|
+ in their physical address spaces, and this option provides
|
|
|
+ more efficient handling of these holes. However, the vast
|
|
|
+ majority of hardware has quite flat address spaces, and
|
|
|
+ can have degraded performance from extra overhead that
|
|
|
+ this option imposes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Many NUMA configurations will have this as the only option.

If unsure, choose "Flat Memory" over this option.
