[Xen-devel] [RFC KERNEL PATCH 0/2] Add Dom0 NVDIMM support for Xen

Overview This RFC kernel patch series along with corresponding patch series of Xen, QEMU and ndctl implements Xen vNVDIMM, which can map the host NVDIMM devices to Xen HVM domU as vNVDIMM devices. Xen hypervisor does not include an NVDIMM driver, so it needs the assistance from the
