Summary

To allow for debugging after changing the arm64 VM_MEMATTR_DEVICE
memory type add a new set of tunables to tell the kernel to use
non-posted memory.

This adds the following tunables:

  • kern.force_nonposted: When set to non-zero the kernel will use non-posted memory for all device allocations.
  • hint.<dev>.<unit>.force_nonposted: As above, however only forces non-posted memory on the named device.
