+	  kmemtrace provides tracing for slab allocator functions, such as

+	  data is then fed to the userspace application in order to analyse
+	  allocation hotspots, internal fragmentation and so on, making it
+	  possible to see how well an allocator performs, as well as debug
+	  and profile kernel code.
+
+	  This requires an userspace application to use. See
+	  Documentation/vm/kmemtrace.txt for more information.
+
+	  Saying Y will make the kernel somewhat larger and slower. However,
