SPARSEMEM_MANUAL — Sparse memory
This will be the only option for some systems, including memory hotplug systems.
For many other systems, this will be an alternative to Discontiguous Memory. This option provides
some potential performance benefits, along with decreased code
complexity, but it is newer and more experimental.
If you are unsure, choose Discontiguous
Memory or Flat
Memory.
