+ This option allows the CramFs driver to load data directly from
+ a linear adressed memory range (usually non volatile memory
+ like flash) instead of going through the block device layer.
+ This saves some memory since no intermediate buffering is
+ necessary.
+
+ The location of the CramFs image is determined by a
+ MTD device capable of direct memory mapping e.g. from
+ the 'physmap' map driver or a resulting MTD partition.
+ For example, this would mount the cramfs image stored in
+ the MTD partition named "xip_fs" on the /mnt mountpoint:
+
+ mount -t cramfs mtd:xip_fs /mnt
