| 6 | The balloon driver allows the Xen domain to request more memory from |
| 7 | the system to expand the domain's memory allocation, or alternatively |
| 8 | return unneeded memory to the system. |

| 15 | Scrub pages before returning them to the system for reuse by |
| 16 | other domains. This makes sure that any confidential data |
| 17 | is not accidentally visible to other domains. Is it more |
| 18 | secure, but slightly less efficient. |
| 19 | If in doubt, say yes. |

| 35 | help |
| 36 | The xen filesystem provides a way for domains to share |
| 37 | information with each other and with the hypervisor. |
| 38 | For example, by reading and writing the "xenbus" file, guests |
| 39 | may pass arbitrary information to the initial domain. |

| 45 | default y |
| 46 | help |
| 47 | The old xenstore userspace tools expect to find "xenbus" |
| 48 | under /proc/xen, but "xenbus" is now found at the root of the |
| 49 | xenfs filesystem. Selecting this causes the kernel to create |
| 50 | the compatibilty mount point /proc/xen if it is running on |
| 51 | a xen platform. |
| 52 | If in doubt, say yes. |
