help
Support raw access to differentiated (persistence, bandwidth,
latency...) memory via an mmap(2) capable character
device. Platform firmware or a device driver may identify a
platform memory resource that is differentiated from the
baseline memory pool. Mappings of a /dev/daxX.Y device impose
restrictions that make the mapping behavior deterministic.

help
Support raw access to persistent memory. Note that this
driver consumes memory ranges allocated and exported by the
libnvdimm sub-system.

help
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.
Say M if unsure.

default CXL_REGION && DEV_DAX
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.
Say N if unsure.
