config ASHMEM

	bool "Enable the Anonymous Shared Memory Subsystem"

	depends on SHMEM

	help

	  The ashmem subsystem is a new shared memory allocator, similar to

	  POSIX SHM but with different behavior and sporting a simpler

	  file-based API.



	  It is, in theory, a good memory allocator for low-memory devices,

	  because it can discard shared memory units when under memory pressure.
