Here is an attempt to translate the prompt and help text into something
which is legible and, as a bonus, correct.

-         The /dev/mem file by default only allows userspace access to PCI
-         space and the BIOS code and data regions. This is sufficient for
-         dosemu and X and all common users of /dev/mem. With this config
-         option, you allow userspace access to all of memory, including
-         kernel and userspace memory. Accidental access to this is
-         obviously disasterous, but specific access can be used by people
-         debugging the kernel.

+         If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
+         userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and data regions.
+         This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common users of
+         /dev/mem.
