Short Description

Non-volatile memory is memory that retains its contents even when electrical power is removed, for example from an unexpected power loss, system crash, or normal shutdown.

This provides rust-vmm the capability to use nvdimm devices.

@richardwyang can you please add some more details about the interface of this crate?

@andreeaflorescu Hi, Andreea

This crate is the counterpart of nvdimm in qemu. Most likely they would have the same interface as dimm.
