37	  EFI 2.8 platforms, and others, may advertise 'specific purpose'
38	  memory. For example, a high bandwidth memory pool. The
39	  indication from platform firmware is meant to reserve the
40	  memory from typical usage by default. This driver creates
41	  device-dax instances for these memory ranges, and that also
42	  enables the possibility to assign them to the DEV_DAX_KMEM
43	  driver to override the reservation and add them to kernel
44	  "System RAM" pool.

58	  Support access to persistent, or other performance
59	  differentiated memory as if it were System RAM. This allows
60	  easier use of persistent memory by unmodified applications, or
61	  adds core kernel memory services to heterogeneous memory types
62	  (HMEM) marked "reserved" by platform firmware.
63
64	  To use this feature, a DAX device must be unbound from the
65	  device_dax driver and bound to this kmem driver on each boot.
