+ help
+ On systems that have mixed performance classes of memory EFI
+ may indicate specific purpose memory with an attribute (See
+ EFI_MEMORY_SP in UEFI 2.8). A memory range tagged with this
+ attribute may have unique performance characteristics compared
+ to the system's general purpose "System RAM" pool. On the
+ expectation that such memory has application specific usage,
+ and its base EFI memory type is "conventional" answer Y to
+ arrange for the kernel to reserve it as a "Soft Reserved"
+ resource, and set aside for direct-access (device-dax) by
+ default. The memory range can later be optionally assigned to
+ the page allocator by system administrator policy via the
+ device-dax kmem facility. Say N to have the kernel treat this
+ memory as "System RAM" by default.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
