+	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.

+	  Memory ranges for PMEM are described by either an NFIT

+	  CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY), or it is manually specified by the
+	  'memmap=nn[KMG]!ss[KMG]' kernel command line (see
+	  Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt).  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.

+	  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,
