+==========================
+Frequently Asked Questions
+==========================
+
+Does DAMON support virtual memory only?
+=======================================
+
+No.  The core of the DAMON is address space independent.  The address space
+specific monitoring operations including monitoring target regions
+constructions and actual access checks can be implemented and configured on the
+DAMON core by the users.  In this way, DAMON users can monitor any address
+space with any access check technique.
+
+Nonetheless, DAMON provides vma/rmap tracking and PTE Accessed bit check based
+implementations of the address space dependent functions for the virtual memory
+and the physical memory by default, for a reference and convenient use.
+
+
+Can I simply monitor page granularity?
+======================================
+
+Yes.  You can do so by setting the ``min_nr_regions`` attribute higher than the
+working set size divided by the page size.  Because the monitoring target
+regions size is forced to be ``>=page size``, the region split will make no
+effect.
