The CXL memory device send interface will have a number of supported commands. The raw command is not such a command. Raw commands allow userspace to send a specified opcode to the underlying hardware and bypass all driver checks on the command. The primary use for this command is to [begrudgingly] allow undocumented vendor specific hardware commands. While not the main motivation, it also allows prototyping new hardware commands without a driver patch and rebuild. While this all sounds very powerful it comes with a couple of caveats: 1. Bug reports using raw commands will not get the same level of attention as bug reports using supported commands (via taint). 2. Supported commands will be rejected by the RAW command. With this comes new debugfs knob to allow full access to your toes with your weapon of choice.

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.
