+	help
+	 This avoids zeroing memory reserved for malloc at malloc init.
+	 Significant boot time reduction is visible for configs in which
+	 CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value, has more than few MiB.
+	 Useful for bzip2, bmp logo.
+	 Warning:
+	 When enable, make sure that calloc() is used when zeroed
+	 memory is needed.
