	  The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
	  Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
	  in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
	  Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
	  Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

	  If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
	  kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
	  version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was

	  Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained

	  mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
	  providing a huge performance boost.  If this option is not enabled,

	  This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
	  ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.

	  Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be

	bool "Enable loadable module support"
	help
	  Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
	  be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
	  permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
	  tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here,
	  many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
	  answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
	  useful for infrequently used options which are not required
	  for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
	  modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.

	  If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
	  modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
	  where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
	  this).

	  If unsure, say Y.
