| 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. |

| 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. |
