+	  Select the kernel logical page size. Increasing the page size
+	  will reduce software overhead at each page boundary, allow
+	  hardware prefetch mechanisms to be more effective, and allow
+	  larger dma transfers increasing IO efficiency and reducing
+	  overhead. However the utilization of memory will increase.
+	  For example, each cached file will using a multiple of the
+	  page size to hold its contents and the difference between the
+	  end of file and the end of page is wasted.
+
+	  If unsure, choose 4K_PAGES.
