+ help
+ The ummunotify (userspace MMU notification) driver creates a
+ character device that can be used by userspace libraries to
+ get notifications when an application's memory mapping
+ changed. This is used, for example, by RDMA libraries to
+ improve the reliability of memory registration caching, since
+ the kernel's MMU notifications can be used to know precisely
+ when to shoot down a cached registration.
