+ in section 5.2.25.3 'NVDIMM Region Mapping' Structure of the
+ ACPI specification 6.2.
+
+ The health states are "save_fail", "restore_fail", "flush_fail",

+Description:

+ mapped directly into system physical address space and / or a
+ block aperture access mechanism to the NVDIMM media.
+ The 'formats' attribute displays the number of supported
+ interfaces.
+
+ This layout is compatible with existing libndctl binaries that
+ only expect one code per-dimm as they will ignore
+ nmemX/nfit/formats and nmemX/nfit/formatN.

+Date: Sep, 2016

+Contact: linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org
+Description:
+ (RW) Provides a way to toggle the behavior between just adding
+ the address (cache line) where the MCE happened to the poison
+ list and doing a full scrub. The former (selective insertion of
+ the address) is done unconditionally.
+
+ This attribute can have the following values written to it:
+
+ '0': Switch to the default mode where an exception will only
+ insert the address of the memory error into the poison and
+ badblocks lists.
+ '1': Enable a full scrub to happen if an exception for a memory
+ error is received.

+What: /sys/bus/nd/devices/ndbusX/nfit/firmware_activate_noidle
+Date: Apr, 2020
+KernelVersion: v5.8
+Contact: linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org
+Description:
+ (RW) The Intel platform implementation of firmware activate
+ support exposes an option let the platform force idle devices in
+ the system over the activation event, or trust that the OS will
+ do it. The safe default is to let the platform force idle
+ devices since the kernel is already in a suspend state, and on
+ the chance that a driver does not properly quiesce bus-mastering
+ after a suspend callback the platform will handle it. However,
+ the activation might abort if, for example, platform firmware
+ determines that the activation time exceeds the max PCI-E
+ completion timeout. Since the platform does not know whether the
+ OS is running the activation from a suspend context it aborts,
+ but if the system owner trusts driver suspend callback to be
+ sufficient then 'firmware_activation_noidle' can be
+ enabled to bypass the activation abort.

+What: /sys/bus/nd/devices/regionX/nfit/range_index
+Date: Jun, 2015
+KernelVersion: v4.2
+Contact: linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org
+Description:
+ (RO) A unique number provided by the BIOS to identify an address
+ range. Used by NVDIMM Region Mapping Structure to uniquely refer
+ to this structure. Value of 0 is reserved and not used as an
+ index.
