Even when configured on at compile time, cleancache functionality
is inert unless the hooks are registered by a "backend" (e.g.
zcache or Xen or other future code).   If configured on,
a backend module can dynamically enable cleancache functionality;
the cost is extremely small, so all postings of cleancache
had "default y".

Just before Linus merged cleancache, he insisted that the
default be changed to "n".  I didn't argue, just changed it.
However, I think in the future most distros will prefer to
have it set so the functionality can be enabled at runtime,
thus the help comment is inconsistent with the default.

Don't know how I missed that one :-}  Typo fix:
