+ * DOC: memory domains

+ * %AMDGPU_GEM_DOMAIN_CPU System memory that is not GPU accessible.
+ * Memory in this pool could be swapped out to disk if there is pressure.
+ *
+ * %AMDGPU_GEM_DOMAIN_GTT GPU accessible system memory, mapped into the
+ * GPU's virtual address space via gart. Gart memory linearizes non-contiguous
+ * pages of system memory, allows GPU access system memory in a linezrized
+ * fashion.
+ *
+ * %AMDGPU_GEM_DOMAIN_VRAM Local video memory. For APUs, it is memory
+ * carved out by the BIOS.
+ *
+ * %AMDGPU_GEM_DOMAIN_GDS Global on-chip data storage used to share data
+ * across shader threads.
+ *
+ * %AMDGPU_GEM_DOMAIN_GWS Global wave sync, used to synchronize the
+ * execution of all the waves on a device.
+ *
+ * %AMDGPU_GEM_DOMAIN_OA Ordered append, used by 3D or Compute engines
+ * for appending data.
