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

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

45	  Say M if unsure.

53	help
54	  CXL RAM regions are either mapped by platform-firmware
55	  and published in the initial system-memory map as "System RAM", mapped
56	  by platform-firmware as "Soft Reserved", or dynamically provisioned
57	  after boot by the CXL driver. In the latter two cases a device-dax
58	  instance is created to access that unmapped-by-default address range.
59	  Per usual it can remain as dedicated access via a device interface, or
60	  converted to "System RAM" via the dax_kmem facility.

71	help
72	  Support access to persistent, or other performance
73	  differentiated memory as if it were System RAM. This allows
74	  easier use of persistent memory by unmodified applications, or
75	  adds core kernel memory services to heterogeneous memory types
76	  (HMEM) marked "reserved" by platform firmware.
77
78	  To use this feature, a DAX device must be unbound from the
79	  device_dax driver and bound to this kmem driver on each boot.

81	  Say N if unsure.
