Linux needs this to support existing "label-less" bare metal NVDIMMs.This is Linux specific? As i did not see it has been documented in the spec...I expect most NVDIMMs, especially existing ones available today, do not have a label area. This is not Linux specific and ACPI 6 does not specify a label area, only the Intel DSM Interface Example.
Yup, label data is accessed via DSM interface, the spec I mentioned is Intel DSM Interface Example. However, IIRC Linux NVDIMM driver refused to use the device if no DSM GET_LABEL support, are you going to update it?
