+	  This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
+	  from userspace allocation.  Keeping a user from writing to low pages
+	  can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
+
+	  For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
+	  a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
+	  On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
+	  Programs which use vm86 functionality would either need additional
+	  permissions from either the LSM or the capabilities module or have
+	  this protection disabled.
+
+	  This value can be changed after boot using the
+	  /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr tunable.
