17	  Support raw access to differentiated (persistence, bandwidth,
18	  latency...) memory via an mmap(2) capable character
19	  device.  Platform firmware or a device driver may identify a
20	  platform memory resource that is differentiated from the
21	  baseline memory pool.  Mappings of a /dev/daxX.Y device impose
22	  restrictions that make the mapping behavior deterministic.

39	help
40	  EFI 2.8 platforms, and others, may advertise 'specific purpose'
41	  memory. For example, a high bandwidth memory pool. The
42	  indication from platform firmware is meant to reserve the
43	  memory from typical usage by default. This driver creates
44	  device-dax instances for these memory ranges, and that also
45	  enables the possibility to assign them to the DEV_DAX_KMEM
46	  driver to override the reservation and add them to kernel
47	  "System RAM" pool.
48
49	  Say M if unsure.

56	help
57	  Support access to persistent, or other performance
58	  differentiated memory as if it were System RAM. This allows
59	  easier use of persistent memory by unmodified applications, or
60	  adds core kernel memory services to heterogeneous memory types
61	  (HMEM) marked "reserved" by platform firmware.
62
63	  To use this feature, a DAX device must be unbound from the
64	  device_dax driver and bound to this kmem driver on each boot.
65
66	  Say N if unsure.

73	  Older versions of the libdaxctl library expect to find all
74	  device-dax instances under /sys/class/dax. If libdaxctl in
75	  your distribution is older than v58 say M, otherwise say N.
