+        default 65536
+        help
+          This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
+          from userspace allocation.  Keeping a user from writing to low pages
+          can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
+
+          For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
+          a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
+          On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
+          Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map
+          this low address space will need the permission specific to the
+          systems running LSM.
