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.

In the latter two cases a device-dax	  instance is created to access that unmapped-by-default address range.	  Per usual it can remain as dedicated access via a device interface, or	  converted to "System RAM" via the dax_kmem facility. config DEV_DAX_HMEM_DEVICES	depends on DEV_DAX_HMEM && DAX	def_bool y config DEV_DAX_FSDEV	tristate	depends on DEV_DAX && FS_DAX	default DEV_DAX config DEV_DAX_KMEM	tristate "KMEM DAX: map dax-devices as System-RAM"	default DEV_DAX	depends on DEV_DAX	depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG # for add_memory() and friends	help	  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. 	  Say N if unsure. endif
