- The kernel memory allocator divides physically contiguous memory
406
- blocks into "zones", where each zone is a power of two number of
407
- pages. This option selects the largest power of two that the kernel
408
- keeps in the memory allocator. If you need to allocate very large
409
- blocks of physically contiguous memory, then you may need to
410
- increase this value .
405
+ The kernel page allocator limits the size of maximal physically
406
+ contiguous allocations. The limit is called MAX_ORDER and it
407
+ defines the maximal power of two of number of pages that can be
408
+ allocated as a single contiguous block. This option allows
409
+ overriding the default setting when ability to allocate very
410
