| Generic support for non-volatile memory devices including | |

| 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). | |

| KMSAN, and other memory debug facilities, increase the size of | |

| 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 | |
