+ help
+ Ordinarily all struct pages are initialised during early boot in a
+ single thread. On very large machines this can take a considerable
+ amount of time. If this option is set, large machines will bring up
+ a subset of memmap at boot and then initialise the rest in parallel
+ when kswapd starts. This has a potential performance impact on
+ processes running early in the lifetime of the systemm until kswapd
+ finishes the initialisation.
