The libnd implementation handles allocating dimm address space (DPA)
between PMEM and BLK mode interfaces.  After DPA has been allocated from
a BLK-region to a BLK-namespace the nd_blk driver attaches to handle I/O
as a struct bio based block device. Unlike PMEM, BLK is required to
handle platform specific details like mmio register formats and memory
controller interleave.  For this reason the libnd generic nd_blk driver
calls back into the bus provider to carry out the I/O.

This initial implementation handles the BLK interface defined by the
ACPI 6 NFIT [1] and the NVDIMM DSM Interface Example [2] composed from
DCR (dimm control region), BDW (block data window), IDT (interleave
descriptor) NFIT structures and the hardware register format.

This describes how it works, not what it is.  How about:

This driver exposes NVDIMM BLK regions as block devices.  BLK regions
are regions of NVDIMM storage that are sector-addressable, not
byte-addressible, and do not support DAX.

Say Y if you want to...

They *are* byte-addressable albeit through an indirection window.  The
indirection windows are too small for DAX to be a viable access mode.

Right, I was assuming incorrectly that the sector-atomic thing was a
necessary part of BLK, or at least of this implementation.

Anyway, I think my point stands: let's describe what these drivers do
from a user's perspective, not how they work.

Agreed.  How about:

"Support NVDIMMs, or other devices, that implement a BLK-mode access
capability.  BLK-mode access uses memory-mapped-i/o apertures to
access persistent media.

Say Y if your platform firmware emits an ACPI.NFIT table
(CONFIG_ND_ACPI), or otherwise exposes BLK-mode capabilities."
