+	  This is VMware physical memory management driver which acts
+	  like a "balloon" that can be inflated to reclaim physical pages
+	  by reserving them in the guest and invalidating them in the
+	  monitor, freeing up the underlying machine pages so they can
+	  be allocated to other guests. The balloon can also be deflated
+	  to allow the guest to use more physical memory.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.

+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called vmware_balloon.
