+	  Self-ballooning dynamically balloons available kernel memory driven
+	  by the current usage of anonymous memory ("committed AS") and
+	  controlled by various sysfs-settable parameters.  Configuring
+	  FRONTSWAP is highly recommended; if it is not configured, self-
+	  ballooning is disabled by default but can be enabled with the
+	  'selfballooning' kernel boot parameter.  If FRONTSWAP is configured,
+	  frontswap-selfshrinking is enabled by default but can be disabled
+	  with the 'noselfshrink' kernel boot parameter; and self-ballooning
+	  is enabled by default but can be disabled with the 'noselfballooning'
+	  kernel boot parameter.  Note that systems without a sufficiently
+	  large swap device should not enable self-ballooning.
