- The kernel memory allocator divides physically contiguous memory
53
- blocks into "zones", where each zone is a power of two number of
54
- pages. This option selects the largest power of two that the kernel
55
- keeps in the memory allocator. If you need to allocate very large
56
- blocks of physically contiguous memory, then you may need to
57
- increase this value.

+ The kernel page allocator limits the size of maximal physically
53
+ contiguous allocations. The limit is called MAX_ORDER and it
54
+ defines the maximal power of two of number of pages that can be
55
+ allocated as a single contiguous block. This option allows
56
+ overriding the default setting when ability to allocate very
57
+ large blocks of physically contiguous memory is required.

+ Don't change if unsure.
