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.

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