-	help
-	  Cleancache can be thought of as a page-granularity victim cache
-	  for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
-	  (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough
-	  memory.  So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use
-	  cleancache code to put the data contained in that page into
-	  "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
-	  addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
-	  time-varying size.  And when a cleancache-enabled
-	  filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
-	  checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
-	  the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
-	  When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or
-	  Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
-	  may be achieved.  When none is available, all cleancache calls
-	  are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting
-	  in a negligible performance hit.

-	  If unsure, say Y to enable cleancache
