276- The kernel memory allocator divides physically contiguous memory
277- blocks into "zones", where each zone is a power of two number of
278- pages. This option selects the largest power of two that the kernel
279- keeps in the memory allocator. If you need to allocate very large
280- blocks of physically contiguous memory, then you may need to
281- increase this value.
276+ The kernel page allocator limits the size of maximal physically
277+ contiguous allocations. The limit is called MAX_ORDER and it
278+ defines the maximal power of two of number of pages that can be
279+ allocated as a single contiguous block. This option allows
280+ overriding the default setting when ability to allocate very
281+ large blocks of physically contiguous memory is required.
282+
283+ Don't change if unsure.
