+	  This option adds a kernel parameter 'memtest', which allows memtest
+	  to be disabled at boot.  If this option is selected, memtest
+	  functionality can be disabled with memtest=0 on the kernel
+	  command line.  The purpose of this option is to allow a single
+	  kernel image to be distributed with memtest built in, but not
+	  necessarily enabled.

+	  This option sets the default value for the kernel parameter
+	  'memtest', which allows memtest to be disabled at boot.  If this
+	  option is set to 0 (zero), the memtest kernel parameter will
+	  default to 0, disabling memtest at bootup.  If this option is
+	  set to 4, the memtest kernel parameter will default to 4,
+	  enabling memtest at bootup, and use that as pattern number.
+
+	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer 0.
