		source or last "flush to persistence".

		The attribute is a translation of the 'NVDIMM State Flags' field
		in section 5.2.25.3 'NVDIMM Region Mapping' Structure of the
		ACPI specification 6.2.

		The health states are "save_fail", "restore_fail", "flush_fail",

		only expect one code per-dimm as they will ignore
		nmemX/nfit/formats and nmemX/nfit/formatN.

What:		/sys/bus/nd/devices/ndbusX/nfit/scrub
Date:		Sep, 2016
KernelVersion:	v4.9
Contact:	linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org
Description:
		(RW) This shows the number of full Address Range Scrubs (ARS)
		that have been completed since driver load time. Userspace can
		wait on this using select/poll etc. A '+' at the end indicates
		an ARS is in progress

		Writing a value of 1 triggers an ARS scan.


What:		/sys/bus/nd/devices/ndbusX/nfit/hw_error_scrub
Date:		Sep, 2016
KernelVersion:	v4.9
Contact:	linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org
Description:
		(RW) Provides a way to toggle the behavior between just adding
		the address (cache line) where the MCE happened to the poison
		list and doing a full scrub. The former (selective insertion of
		the address) is done unconditionally.

		This attribute can have the following values written to it:

		'0': Switch to the default mode where an exception will only
		insert the address of the memory error into the poison and
		badblocks lists.
		'1': Enable a full scrub to happen if an exception for a memory
		error is received.


What:		/sys/bus/nd/devices/ndbusX/nfit/dsm_mask
Date:		Jun, 2017
KernelVersion:	v4.13
Contact:	linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org
Description:
		(RO) The bitmask indicates the supported bus specific control
		functions. See the section named 'NVDIMM Root Device _DSMs' in
		the ACPI specification.

What:		/sys/bus/nd/devices/ndbusX/nfit/firmware_activate_noidle
Date:		Apr, 2020
KernelVersion:	v5.8
Contact:	linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org
Description:
		(RW) The Intel platform implementation of firmware activate
		support exposes an option let the platform force idle devices in
		the system over the activation event, or trust that the OS will
		do it. The safe default is to let the platform force idle
		devices since the kernel is already in a suspend state, and on
		the chance that a driver does not properly quiesce bus-mastering
		after a suspend callback the platform will handle it.  However,
		the activation might abort if, for example, platform firmware
		determines that the activation time exceeds the max PCI-E
		completion timeout. Since the platform does not know whether the
		OS is running the activation from a suspend context it aborts,
		but if the system owner trusts driver suspend callback to be
		sufficient then 'firmware_activation_noidle' can be
		enabled to bypass the activation abort.

What:		/sys/bus/nd/devices/regionX/nfit/range_index
Date:		Jun, 2015
KernelVersion:	v4.2
Contact:	linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org
Description:
		(RO) A unique number provided by the BIOS to identify an address
		range. Used by NVDIMM Region Mapping Structure to uniquely refer
		to this structure. Value of 0 is reserved and not used as an
		index.
