-	  Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce
-	  significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be
-	  used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated
-	  with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used
-	  by the guest workload. Allowing the compaction & migration for memory
-	  pages enlisted as being part of memory balloon devices avoids the
-	  scenario aforementioned and helps improving memory defragmentation.
+	  Allow for migration of pages inflated in a memory balloon such that
+	  they can be allocated from memory areas only available for movable
+	  allocations (e.g., ZONE_MOVABLE, CMA) and such that they can be
+	  migrated for memory defragmentation purposes by memory compaction.
