 This is used to force the Linux VM to keep a minimum number
 of kilobytes free.  The VM uses this number to compute a
-watermark[WMARK_MIN] value for each lowmem zone in the system.
+watermark[WMARK_MIN] for each lowmem zone and
+watermark[WMARK_LOW/WMARK_HIGH] for each zone in the system.
 Each lowmem zone gets a number of reserved free pages based
 proportionally on its size.
