Generic Initiators are a new ACPI concept that allows for the description of proximity domains that contain a device which performs memory access (such as a network card) but neither host CPU nor Memory. This patch has the parsing code and provides the infrastructure for an architecture to associate these new domains with their nearest memory processing node.
Thanks for this Jonathan. May I ask how this was tested? Tao has been working on qemu support for HMAT [1]. I have not checked if it already supports generic initiator entries, but it would be helpful to include an example of how the kernel sees these configurations in practice.
