| 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) and BLK (sliding mmio window(s)) | |
| namespaces (/dev/ndblkX.Y). A PMEM namespace refers to a | |
| memory resource that may span multiple DIMMs and support DAX | |
| (see CONFIG_DAX). A BLK namespace refers to an NVDIMM control | |
| region which exposes an mmio register set for windowed access | |
| mode to non-volatile memory. | |

| 'memmap=nn[KMG]!ss[KMG]' kernel command line (see | |

| 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, | |
| ndblkX.Y, etc...), or 'sectored' mode, (pmemXs, ndblkX.Ys, | |
