 ## Features
 
-- **`use_spin`** (default): Provide a `LockedHeap` type that implements the [`GlobalAlloc`] trait by using a spinlock.
+- **`alloc`** (default): Provide `FrameAllocator` and `LockedFrameAllocator`, which depend on a
+  global allocator.
+- **`use_spin`** (default): Provide a `LockedHeap` type that implements the [`GlobalAlloc`] trait by
+  using a spinlock.
 - **`const_fn`** (nightly only): Provide const fn version of `LockedHeapWithRescue::new`.
