	  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.

	  kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
	  version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was

	  will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
	  number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
	  the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.

	  For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
	  clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
	  be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
	  effective value to 25%.
	  If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
	  that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
	  it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
	  The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
	  (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
	  that bucket.

	  An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
	  example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
	  CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
	  it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
	  clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
	  precision.

	  If in doubt, use the default value.

	  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.
