Most discovery/configuration of the libnvdimm-subsystem is done via sysfs attributes. However, some libnvdimm buses, particularly the ACPI.NFIT bus, define a small set of messages that can be passed to the platform. For convenience we derive the initial libnvdimm-ioctl command formats directly from the NFIT DSM Interface Example formats.
Why not merge these into the extensive sysfs interface?
