| Generic support for non-volatile memory devices including |
| ACPI-6-NFIT defined resources. On platforms that define an |
| NFIT, or otherwise can discover NVDIMM resources, a libnvdimm |
| bus is registered to advertise PMEM (persistent memory) |
| namespaces (/dev/pmemX). A PMEM namespace refers to a |
| memory resource that may span multiple DIMMs and support DAX |
| (see CONFIG_DAX). |

| CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY), or it is manually specified by the |
| 'memmap=nn[KMG]!ss[KMG]' kernel command line (see |
| Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst). This driver converts |

| The Block Translation Table (BTT) provides atomic sector |
| update semantics for persistent memory devices, so that |
| applications that rely on sector writes not being torn (a |
| guarantee that typical disks provide) can continue to do so. |
| The BTT manifests itself as an alternate personality for an |
| NVDIMM namespace, i.e. a namespace can be in raw mode pmemX, |

| KMSAN, and other memory debug facilities, increase the size of |
| 'struct page' to contain extra metadata. This collides with |
| the NVDIMM capability to store a potentially |
| larger-than-"System RAM" size 'struct page' array in a |
| reservation of persistent memory rather than limited / |
| precious DRAM. However, that reservation needs to persist for |
| the life of the given NVDIMM namespace. If you are using KMSAN |
| to debug an issue unrelated to NVDIMMs or DAX then say N to this |
| option. Otherwise, say Y but understand that any namespaces |
| (with the page array stored pmem) created with this build of |
| the kernel will permanently reserve and strand excess |
| capacity compared to the CONFIG_KMSAN=n case. |
