 memory to be mapped strongly ordered, and atomic operations on strongly ordered
 memory are implementation defined, and won't work on many ARMs such as omaps.
+Setting ``mem_type=2`` attempts to treat the memory region as normal memory,
+which enables full cache on it. This can improve the performance.
 
 The memory area is divided into ``record_size`` chunks (also rounded down to
 power of two) and each kmesg dump writes a ``record_size`` chunk of
