- The CXL.mem protocol allows a device to act as a provider of
- "System RAM" and/or "Persistent Memory" that is fully coherent
- as if the memory was attached to the typical CPU memory
- controller.
+ The CXL specification defines a "CXL memory device" sub-class in the
+ PCI "memory controller" base class of devices. Device's identified by
+ this class code provide support for volatile and / or persistent
+ memory to be mapped into the system address map (Host-managed Device
+ Memory (HDM)).
- Say 'y/m' to enable a driver that will attach to CXL.mem devices for
- configuration and management primarily via the mailbox interface. See
- Chapter 2.3 Type 3 CXL Device in the CXL 2.0 specification for more
- details.
+ Say 'y/m' to enable a driver that will attach to CXL memory expander

If unsure say 'm'.
