In linux kernel since version 4.14.326 (release Date: 2023-09-23)
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 were attached to the typical CPU memory controller. This is
known as HDM "Host-managed Device Memory".
Say 'y/m' to enable a driver that will attach to CXL.mem devices for
memory expansion and control of HDM. See Chapter 9.13 in the CXL 2.0
specification for a detailed description of HDM.
If unsure say 'm'.
