Anyway, if we introduce a new controller, and keep the legacy interfaces, we might want to encourage the user to switch to the new ones, would the following proposal be doable? 1.When booting up with control_mode = legacy, and the new control mode is supported (asymmetric, region-aware, etc.), we can print a message saying: new control is available, please switch the control_mode to "native". 2.Add a mount option to support control_mode. 3.The rdt= option, but only for x86 — not sure why rdt= is not a generic option. thanks, Chenyu
