- This option allows you to set the base address of the kernel virtual

- optimizing the layout of kernel virtual memory.

+ help
+ The address space of Microblaze processors is only 4 Gigabytes large
+ and it has to accommodate user address space, kernel address
+ space as well as some memory mapped IO. That means that, if you
+ have a large amount of physical memory and/or IO, not all of the
+ memory can be "permanently mapped" by the kernel. The physical
+ memory that is not permanently mapped is called "high memory".
+
+ If unsure, say n.
