Block Aperture Window support was an attempt to layer an error model over PMEM for platforms that did not support machine-check-recovery. However, it was abandoned before it ever shipped, and only ever existed in the ACPI specification. Meanwhile Linux has carried a large pile of dead code for non-shipping infrastructure. For years it has been off to the side out of the way, but now CXL and recent directions with DAX support have the potential to collide with this code. In preparation for adding discontiguous namespace support, a pre-requisite for the nvdimm subsystem to replace device-mapper for striping + concatenation use cases, delete BLK aperture support. On the obscure chance that some hardware vendor shipped support for this mode, note that the driver will still keep BLK space reserved in the label area. So an end user in this case would still have the opportunity to report the regression to get BLK-mode support restored without risking the data they have on that device.

non-standard OEM-specific E820 memory type (type-12, see

'memmap=nn[KMG]!ss[KMG]' kernel command line (see

these persistent memory ranges into block devices that are

The Block Translation Table (BTT) provides atomic sector

update semantics for persistent memory devices, so that

applications that rely on sector writes not being torn (a

guarantee that typical disks provide) can continue to do so.

The BTT manifests itself as an alternate personality for an

NVDIMM namespace, i.e. a namespace can be in raw mode pmemX,

or 'sectored' mode.
