  	help
  	  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.

  	help
  	  Memory ranges for PMEM are described by either an NFIT
  	  (NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table, see CONFIG_NFIT_ACPI), a
  	  non-standard OEM-specific E820 memory type (type-12, see
  	  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
  	  these persistent memory ranges into block devices that are
  	  capable of DAX (direct-access) file system mappings.  See
  	  Documentation/nvdimm/nvdimm.txt for more details.

  	  Support NVDIMMs, or other devices, that implement a BLK-mode
  	  access capability.  BLK-mode access uses memory-mapped-i/o
  	  apertures to access persistent media.
  
  	  Say Y if your platform firmware emits an ACPI.NFIT table
  	  (CONFIG_ACPI_NFIT), or otherwise exposes BLK-mode
  	  capabilities.

  	bool "BTT: Block Translation Table (atomic sector updates)"
  	default y if LIBNVDIMM
  	select ND_CLAIM
  	help
  	  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,
  	  etc...).

  	default LIBNVDIMM

  	select ND_CLAIM
  	help
  	  Map persistent memory, i.e. advertise it to the memory
  	  management sub-system.  By default persistent memory does
  	  not support direct I/O, RDMA, or any other usage that
  	  requires a 'struct page' to mediate an I/O request.  This
  	  driver allocates and initializes the infrastructure needed
  	  to support those use cases.

  config NVDIMM_DAX
  	bool "NVDIMM DAX: Raw access to persistent memory"
  	default LIBNVDIMM
  	depends on NVDIMM_PFN
  	help
  	  Support raw device dax access to a persistent memory
  	  namespace.  For environments that want to hard partition
  	  peristent memory, this capability provides a mechanism to
  	  sub-divide a namespace into character devices that can only be
  	  accessed via DAX (mmap(2)).
