``dax_pmem``, ``nd_pmem``, ``device_dax``, ``nd_btt``
+.. note::

+ NVDIMM support is present in the Linux Kernel v4.0 or newer. It is
+ recommended to use Kernel version 4.2 or later since `NVDIMM support
+ <https://docs.pmem.io/persistent-memory/getting-started-guide/creating-development-environments/linux-environments>`_
+ is enabled by default. We met some bugs in older versions, and we have
+ done all verification works with OpenStack on 4.18 version, so 4.18
+ version and newer will probably guarantee its functionality.

* QEMU version >= 3.1.0
* Libvirt version >= 5.0.0
* `ndctl`_ version >= 62
+* daxio version >= 1.6

The vPMEM feature has been verified under the software and hardware listed above.
