7	  Generic support for non-volatile memory devices including
8	  ACPI-6-NFIT defined resources.  On platforms that define an
9	  NFIT, or otherwise can discover NVDIMM resources, a libnvdimm
10	  bus is registered to advertise PMEM (persistent memory)
11	  namespaces (/dev/pmemX) and BLK (sliding mmio window(s))
12	  namespaces (/dev/ndblkX.Y). A PMEM namespace refers to a
13	  memory resource that may span multiple DIMMs and support DAX
14	  (see CONFIG_DAX).  A BLK namespace refers to an NVDIMM control
15	  region which exposes an mmio register set for windowed access
16	  mode to non-volatile memory.

27	  Memory ranges for PMEM are described by either an NFIT
28	  (NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table, see CONFIG_NFIT_ACPI), a
29	  non-standard OEM-specific E820 memory type (type-12, see
30	  CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY), or it is manually specified by the
31	  'memmap=nn[KMG]!ss[KMG]' kernel command line (see
32	  Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst).  This driver converts
33	  these persistent memory ranges into block devices that are
34	  capable of DAX (direct-access) file system mappings.  See
35	  Documentation/nvdimm/nvdimm.txt for more details.

63	  The Block Translation Table (BTT) provides atomic sector
64	  update semantics for persistent memory devices, so that
65	  applications that rely on sector writes not being torn (a
66	  guarantee that typical disks provide) can continue to do so.
67	  The BTT manifests itself as an alternate personality for an
68	  NVDIMM namespace, i.e. a namespace can be in raw mode (pmemX,
69	  ndblkX.Y, etc...), or 'sectored' mode, (pmemXs, ndblkX.Ys,
70	  etc...).

83	  Map persistent memory, i.e. advertise it to the memory
84	  management sub-system.  By default persistent memory does
85	  not support direct I/O, RDMA, or any other usage that
86	  requires a 'struct page' to mediate an I/O request.  This
87	  driver allocates and initializes the infrastructure needed
88	  to support those use cases.

97	  Support raw device dax access to a persistent memory
98	  namespace.  For environments that want to hard partition
99	  persistent memory, this capability provides a mechanism to
100	  sub-divide a namespace into character devices that can only be
101	  accessed via DAX (mmap(2)).
