+        help
+          Say Y here if you want the image load offset (AKA TEXT_OFFSET)
+          of the kernel to be randomized at build-time. When selected,
+          this option will cause TEXT_OFFSET to be randomized upon any
+          build of the kernel, and the offset will be reflected in the
+          text_offset field of the resulting Image. This can be used to
+          fuzz-test bootloaders which respect text_offset.
+
+          This option is intended for bootloader and/or kernel testing
+          only. Bootloaders must make no assumptions regarding the value
+          of TEXT_OFFSET and platforms must not require a specific
+          value.
