The NDD_ALIASING flag is used to indicate where pmem capacity might alias with blk capacity and require labeling. It is also used to indicate whether the DIMM supports labeling. Separate this latter capability into its own flag so that the NDD_ALIASING flag is scoped to true aliased configurations. To my knowledge aliased configurations only exist in the ACPI spec, there are no known platforms that ship this support in production. This clarity allows namespace-capacity alignment constraints around interleave-ways to be relaxed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
