+===========================================
+HMAT - Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table
+===========================================
+
+The Heterogeneous Memory Attributes Table contains information such as cache
+attributes and bandwidth and latency details for memory proximity domains.
+For the purpose of this document, we will only discuss the SSLIB entry.
+
+SLLBI
+=====
+The System Locality Latency and Bandwidth Information records latency and
+bandwidth information for proximity domains.
+
+This table is used by Linux to configure interleave weights and memory tiers.
+
+Example (Heavily truncated for brevity) ::
+
+ Structure Type : 0001 [SLLBI]
+ Data Type : 00 <- Latency
+ Target Proximity Domain List : 00000000
+ Target Proximity Domain List : 00000001
+ Entry : 0080 <- DRAM LTC
+ Entry : 0100 <- CXL LTC
+
+ Structure Type : 0001 [SLLBI]
+ Data Type : 03 <- Bandwidth
+ Target Proximity Domain List : 00000000
+ Target Proximity Domain List : 00000001
+ Entry : 1200 <- DRAM BW
+ Entry : 0200 <- CXL BW
