+ tristate "CXL (Compute Express Link) Devices Support"
+ depends on PCI
+ help
+ CXL is a bus that is electrically compatible with PCI Express, but
+ layers three protocols on that signalling (CXL.io, CXL.cache, and
+ CXL.mem). The CXL.cache protocol allows devices to hold cachelines
+ locally, the CXL.mem protocol allows devices to be fully coherent
+ memory targets, the CXL.io protocol is equivalent to PCI Express.
+ Say 'y' to enable support for the configuration and management of
+ devices supporting these protocols.

+config CXL_MEM
+ tristate "CXL.mem: Memory Devices"
+ help
+ 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.
+
+ Say 'y/m' to enable a driver (named "cxl_mem.ko" when built as
+ a module) that will attach to CXL.mem devices for
+ configuration, provisioning, and health monitoring. This
+ driver is required for dynamic provisioning of CXL.mem
+ attached memory which is a prerequisite for persistent memory
+ support. Typically volatile memory is mapped by platform
+ firmware and included in the platform memory map, but in some
+ cases the OS is responsible for mapping that memory. See
+ Chapter 2.3 Type 3 CXL Device in the CXL 2.0 specification.
+
+ If unsure say 'm'.
