+			Format: { eager | lazy }
+			default: lazy
+			By default, unaccepted memory is accepted lazily to
+			avoid prolonged boot times. The lazy option will add
+			some runtime overhead until all memory is eventually
+			accepted. In most cases the overhead is negligible.
+			For some workloads or for debugging purposes
+			accept_memory=eager can be used to accept all memory
+			at once during boot.
