I lost you? what "new device discovery capabilities" do you see in
Ross's or my code to pmem?

Actually my point is that I hope there will never be any. That the discovery
should be elsewhere in an ARCH/driver LLD and pmem stays generic.

I feel we are not disagreeing, just not communicating. Please explain again,
sorry for not understanding. What in the code I sent, you do not like? What
in the code is dependent on UEFI organization's paper. That might need to
change?

Again sorry for being slow. please explain again?

Thanks
Boaz
