The configuration item CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY:

• prompt: Support non-standard NVDIMMs and ADR protected memory
• type: tristate
• depends on: ( CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT ) && ( CONFIG_BLK_DEV )
• defined in arch/x86/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 4.3–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.12, 6.13-rc+HEAD
• modules built: nd_e820

Help text

Treat memory marked using the non-standard e820 type of 12 as used by the Intel Sandy Bridge-EP reference BIOS as protected memory. The kernel will offer these regions to the 'pmem' driver so they can be used for persistent storage.

Say Y if unsure.
