-	select LZO_DECOMPRESS
-	---help---
-	   Select this to enable LZO compression for register caches.
-	   This will allow machine or CODEC drivers to compress register
-	   caches in memory, reducing the memory consumption at the
-	   expense of performance.  If this is not present and is used
-	   the system will fall back to uncompressed caches.
-
-	   Usually it is safe to disable this option, where cache
-	   compression in used the rbtree option will typically perform
-	   better.
