 # @paging: if true, do paging to get guest's memory mapping. This allows
-# using gdb to process the core file. However, setting @paging to false
-# may be desirable because of two reasons:
+#          using gdb to process the core file.
 #
-#   1. The guest may be in a catastrophic state or can have corrupted
-#      memory, which cannot be trusted
-#   2. The guest can be in real-mode even if paging is enabled. For example,
-#      the guest uses ACPI to sleep, and ACPI sleep state goes in real-mode
+#          IMPORTANT: this option can make QEMU allocate several gigabytes
+#                     of RAM. This can happen for a large guest, or a
+#                     malicious guest pretending to be large.
+#
+#          Also, paging=true has the following limitations:
+#
+#             1. The guest may be in a catastrophic state or can have corrupted
+#                memory, which cannot be trusted
+#             2. The guest can be in real-mode even if paging is enabled. For

 # @protocol: the filename or file descriptor of the vmcore. The supported
-# protocols are:
+#            protocols are:
 #
-#   1. file: the protocol starts with "file:", and the following string is
-#      the file's path.
