+What:		/sys/bus/vdpa/devices/.../driver_override
+Date:		November 2021
+Contact:	[email protected]
+Description:
+		This file allows the driver for a device to be specified.
+		When specified, only a driver with a name matching the value
+		written to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind to
+		the device. The override is specified by writing a string to the
+		driver_override file (echo vhost-vdpa > driver_override) and may
+		be cleared with an empty string (echo > driver_override).
+		This returns the device to standard matching rules binding.
+		Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the
+		device from its current driver or make any attempt to
+		automatically load the specified driver. If no driver with a
+		matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, the device will
+		not bind to any driver. This also allows devices to opt-out of
+		driver binding using a driver_override name such as "none".
+		Only a single driver may be specified in the override, there is
+		no support for parsing delimiters.

+Description:	Enable/disable demoting pages during reclaim
+
+		Page migration during reclaim is intended for systems
+		with tiered memory configurations.  These systems have
+		multiple types of memory with varied performance
+		characteristics instead of plain NUMA systems where
+		the same kind of memory is found at varied distances.
+		Allowing page migration during reclaim enables these
+		systems to migrate pages from fast tiers to slow tiers
+		when the fast tier is under pressure.  This migration
+		is performed before swap.  It may move data to a NUMA
+		node that does not fall into the cpuset of the
+		allocating process which might be construed to violate
+		the guarantees of cpusets.  This should not be enabled
+		on systems which need strict cpuset location
+		guarantees.
