+	  Say Y here to enable legacy in kernel inotify support.  Inotify is a
+	  file change notification system.  It is a replacement for dnotify.
+	  This option only provides the legacy inotify in kernel API.  There
+	  are no in tree kernel users of this interface since it is deprecated.
+	  You only need this if you are loading an out of tree kernel module
+	  that uses inotify.

 	default y
 	---help---
 	  Say Y here to enable inotify support for userspace, including the
 	  associated system calls.  Inotify allows monitoring of both files and
 	  directories via a single open fd.  Events are read from the file
 	  descriptor, which is also select()- and poll()-able.
+	  Inotify fixes numerous shortcomings in dnotify and introduces several
+	  new features including multiple file events, one-shot support, and
+	  unmount notification.
