+ depends on SWAP
+ default n
+ help
+ Frontswap is so named because it can be thought of as the opposite
+ of a "backing" store for a swap device. The data is stored into
+ "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
+ addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
+ time-varying size. When space in transcendent memory is available,
+ a significant swap I/O reduction may be achieved. When none is
+ available, all frontswap calls are reduced to a single pointer-
+ compare-against-NULL resulting in a negligible performance hit
+ and swap data is stored as normal on the matching swap device.
+
+ If unsure, say Y to enable frontswap.
