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