Re: [PATCH] Config.help entry for CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE

From: Martin J. Bligh <hidden>

+CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE
+  This enables support for huge pages (4MB for x86).  User space
+  applications can make use of this support with the sys_alloc_hugepages
+  and sys_free_hugepages system calls.  If your applications are
+  huge page aware and your processor (Pentium or later for x86) supports
+  this, then say Y here.
+
+  Otherwise, say N.
They're not always 4Mb on x86 ... they're 2Mb if you have PAE 
turned on ... maybe just leave out the "(4MB for x86)" comment?
