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

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

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