+ Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
+ from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
+ userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
+ mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
+ providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
+ then the flag will be ignored.
+
+ This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
+ ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
+
+ Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
+ enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
+ userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
