@@ -153,3 +153,25 @@ guest NVDIMM region mapping structure.  This unarmed flag indicates
 guest software that this vNVDIMM device contains a region that cannot
 accept persistent writes. In result, for example, the guest Linux
 NVDIMM driver, marks such vNVDIMM device as read-only.
+
+Platform Capabilities
+---------------------
+
+ACPI 6.2 Errata A added support for a new Platform Capabilities Structure
+which allows the platform to communicate what features it supports related to
+NVDIMM data durability.  Users can provide a capabilities value to a guest via
+the optional "cap" device command line option:
+
+ -device nvdimm,id=nvdimm1,memdev=mem1,cap=3
+
+As of ACPI 6.2 Errata A, the following values are valid for the bottom two
+bits:
+
+2 - Memory Controller Flush to NVDIMM Durability on Power Loss Capable.
+3 - CPU Cache Flush to NVDIMM Durability on Power Loss Capable.
+
+For a complete list of the flags available please consult the ACPI spec.
+
+These platform capabilities apply to the entire virtual platform, so it is
+recommended that only one "cap" device command option be given per virtual
+machine.  This value will apply to all NVDIMMs in the virtual platform.
