+ allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
+ more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
+ the excess and return it to the allocator.
+
+ If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
+ system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
+ if there are a lot of transient processes.
+
+ If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
+ long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
+
+ Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
+ (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
+ excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
+ no trimming is to occur.
+
+ This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default
+ of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.
