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.
