	  If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
12 13
	  of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
	  access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
14 15 16
	  be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
	  enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
	  use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
17 18 19 20 21 22 23

	  If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
	  userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and data regions.
	  This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common users of
	  /dev/mem.

	  If in doubt, say Y.

	X86-only for now.

	This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
	kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
	certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
	tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
	to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
	for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
	invalidating instructions according to the following formula:

	flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift
