+ SD/MMC is a high latency protocol where it is crucial to
+ send large requests in order to get high performance. Many
+ controllers, however, are restricted to continuous memory
+ (i.e. they can't do scatter-gather), something the kernel
+ rarely can provide.

+ Say Y here to help these restricted hosts by bouncing
+ requests back and forth from a large buffer. You will get
+ a big performance gain at the cost of up to 64 KiB of
+ physical memory.

+ If unsure, say Y here.
