In some cases, the address space for a given operations set could be +too large to be handled with the type. ARM (32-bit) with large physical +address extension is an example. For such cases, a per-operations set +parameter called ``address unit`` is provided. It represents the scale factor +that need to be multiplied to the core layer's address for calculating real +address on the given address space. Support of ``address unit`` parameter is +up to each operations set implementation. ``paddr`` is the only operations set +implementation that supports the parameter. .. _damon_core_logic: -- 2.43.0
