+          Conventionally, block device numbers are allocated from
+          predetermined contiguous area.  However, extended block area
+          may introduce non-contiguous block device numbers.  This
+          option forces most block device numbers to be allocated from
+          the extended space and spreads them to discover kernel or
+          userland code paths which assume predetermined contiguous
+          device number allocation.
