There are use cases, for example virtual machine hosts, that create "persistent" memory regions using memmap= option on x86 or dummy pmem-region device tree nodes on DT based systems. Both these options are inflexible because they create static regions and the layout of the "persistent" memory cannot be adjusted without reboot and sometimes they even require firmware update. Add a ramdax driver that allows creation of DIMM devices on top of E820_TYPE_PRAM regions and devicetree pmem-region nodes. The DIMMs support label space management on the "device" and provide a flexible way to access RAM using fsdax and devdax.

KMSAN, and other memory debug facilities, increase the size of

the NVDIMM capability to store a potentially

larger-than-"System RAM" size 'struct page' array in a

|
reservation of persistent memory rather than limited /

precious DRAM. However, that reservation needs to persist for

the life of the given NVDIMM namespace. If you are using KMSAN

to debug an issue unrelated to NVDIMMs or DAX then say N to this
|

option. Otherwise, say Y but understand that any namespaces
|

(with the page array stored pmem) created with this build of

the kernel will permanently reserve and strand excess

capacity compared to the CONFIG_KMSAN=n case.
