+	help
+	  Linux can use the full amount of RAM in the system by
+	  default. However, the default MMUv2 setup only maps the
+	  lowermost 128 MB of memory linearly to the areas starting
+	  at 0xd0000000 (cached) and 0xd8000000 (uncached).
+	  When there are more than 128 MB memory in the system not
+	  all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the kernel.
+	  The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
+	  "high memory".
+
+	  If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a
+	  machine with more than 128 MB total physical RAM, answer
+	  N here.
+
+	  If unsure, say Y.
