+ * PDSM Envelope:
+ *
+ * The ioctl ND_CMD_CALL transfers data between user-space and kernel via
+ * envelope which consists of a header and user-defined payload sections.
+ * The header is described by 'struct nd_pdsm_cmd_pkg' which expects a
+ * payload following it and accessible via 'nd_pdsm_cmd_pkg.payload' field.
+ * There is reserved field that can used to introduce new fields to the
+ * structure in future. It also tries to ensure that 'nd_pdsm_cmd_pkg.payload'
+ * lies at a 8-byte boundary.

+ * PDSM Header:
+ *
+ * The header is defined as 'struct nd_pdsm_cmd_pkg' which embeds a
+ * 'struct nd_cmd_pkg' instance. The PDSM command is assigned to member
+ * 'nd_cmd_pkg.nd_command'. Apart from size information of the envelope which is
+ * contained in 'struct nd_cmd_pkg', the header also has members following
+ * members:
+ *
+ * 'cmd_status'		: (Out) Errors if any encountered while servicing PDSM.
+ * 'reserved'		: Not used, reserved for future and should be set to 0.
+ *
+ * PDSM Payload:
+ *
+ * The layout of the PDSM Payload is defined by various structs shared between
+ * papr_scm and libndctl so that contents of payload can be interpreted. During
+ * servicing of a PDSM the papr_scm module will read input args from the payload
+ * field by casting its contents to an appropriate struct pointer based on the
+ * PDSM command. Similarly the output of servicing the PDSM command will be
+ * copied to the payload field using the same struct.
+ *
+ * 'libnvdimm' enforces a hard limit of 256 bytes on the envelope size, which
+ * leaves exactly 184 bytes for the envelope payload.
