Support raw access to differentiated (persistence, bandwidth,
latency...) memory via an mmap(2) capable character
device. Platform firmware or a device driver may identify a
platform memory resource that is differentiated from the
baseline memory pool. Mappings of a /dev/daxX.Y device impose
restrictions that make the mapping behavior deterministic.

Support raw access to persistent memory. Note that this
driver consumes memory ranges allocated and exported by the
libnvdimm sub-system.
Say M if unsure

help
Support access to persistent memory as if it were RAM. This
allows easier use of persistent memory by unmodified
applications.
To use this feature, a DAX device must be unbound from the
device_dax driver (PMEM DAX) and bound to this kmem driver
on each boot.
Say N if unsure.

help
Older versions of the libdaxctl library expect to find all
device-dax instances under /sys/class/dax. If libdaxctl in
your distribution is older than v58 say M, otherwise say N.
