-	  Allows the migration of the physical location of pages of processes
-	  while the virtual addresses are not changed. This is useful in
-	  two situations. The first is on NUMA systems to put pages nearer
-	  to the processors accessing. The second is when allocating huge
-	  pages as migration can relocate pages to satisfy a huge page
-	  allocation instead of reclaiming.
+	  Support the migration of pages to other NUMA nodes, available to
+	  user space through interfaces like migrate_pages(), move_pages(),
+	  and mbind(). Selecting this option also enables support for page
+	  demotion for memory tiering.
