-         The kernel memory allocator divides physically contiguous memory
-         blocks into "zones", where each zone is a power of two number of
-         pages.  This option selects the largest power of two that the kernel
-         keeps in the memory allocator.  If you need to allocate very large
-         blocks of physically contiguous memory, then you may need to
-         increase this value.
+         The kernel page allocator limits the size of maximal physically
+         contiguous allocations. The limit is called MAX_ORDER and it
+         defines the maximal power of two of number of pages that can be
+         allocated as a single contiguous block. This option allows
+         overriding the default setting when ability to allocate very
+         large blocks of physically contiguous memory is required.
+
+         Don't change if unsure.
