This structure describes memory side cache information for memory
proximity domains if the memory side cache is present and the
physical device forms the memory side cache.
The software could use this information to effectively place
the data in memory to maximize the performance of the system
memory that use the memory side cache.

This structure describes the memory access latency and bandwidth
information from various memory access initiator proximity domains.
The latency and bandwidth numbers represented in this structure
correspond to rated latency and bandwidth for the platform.
The software could use this information as hint for optimization.

HMAT is defined in ACPI 6.3: 5.2.27 Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table
(HMAT). The specification references below link:
http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6_3_final_Jan30.pdf
It describes the memory attributes, such as memory side cache
attributes and bandwidth and latency details, related to the
Memory Proximity Domain. The software is
expected to use this information as hint for optimization.
This structure describes Memory Proximity Domain Attributes by memory
subsystem and its associativity with processor proximity domain as well as
hint for memory usage.
In the linux kernel, the codes in drivers/acpi/hmat/hmat.c parse and report
the platform's HMAT tables.
