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

40	  Support access to persistent memory as if it were RAM.  This
41	  allows easier use of persistent memory by unmodified
42	  applications.
43
44	  To use this feature, a DAX device must be unbound from the
45	  device_dax driver (PMEM DAX) and bound to this kmem driver
46	  on each boot.

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