+ Self-ballooning dynamically balloons available kernel memory driven
+ by the current usage of anonymous memory ("committed AS") and
+ controlled by various sysfs-settable parameters. Configuring
+ FRONTSWAP is highly recommended; if it is not configured, self-
+ ballooning is disabled by default but can be enabled with the
+ 'selfballooning' kernel boot parameter. If FRONTSWAP is configured,
+ frontswap-selfshrinking is enabled by default but can be disabled
+ with the 'noselfshrink' kernel boot parameter; and self-ballooning
+ is enabled by default but can be disabled with the 'noselfballooning'
+ kernel boot parameter. Note that systems without a sufficiently
+ large swap device should not enable self-ballooning.
