+	help
+	  This option checks for obviously wrong memory regions when
+	  copying memory to/from the kernel (via copy_to_user() and
+	  copy_from_user() functions) by rejecting memory ranges that
+	  are larger than the specified heap object, span multiple
+	  separately allocates pages, are not on the process stack,
+	  or are part of the kernel text. This kills entire classes
+	  of heap overflow exploits and similar kernel memory exposures.
