+	  Historically, the kernel has used strongly ordered mappings to
+	  provide DMA coherent memory.  With the advent of ARMv7, mapping
+	  memory with differing types results in unpredictable behaviour,
+	  so on these CPUs, this option is forced on.
+
+	  Multiple mappings with differing attributes is also unpredictable
+	  on ARMv6 CPUs, but since they do not have aggressive speculative
+	  prefetch, no harm appears to occur.
+
+	  However, drivers may be missing the necessary barriers for ARMv6,
+	  and therefore turning this on may result in unpredictable driver
+	  behaviour.  Therefore, we offer this as an option.
+
+	  You are recommended say 'Y' here and debug any affected drivers.
