+UMA Carveout
+============
+
+Some versions of Atom ROM expose available options for the VRAM carveout sizes,
+and allow changes to the carveout size via the ATCS function code 0xA on supported
+BIOS implementations.
+
+For those platforms, users can use the following files under uma/ to set the
+carveout size, in a way similar to what Windows users can do in the "Tuning"
+tab in AMD Adrenalin.
+
+Note that for BIOS implementations that don't support this, these files will not
+be created at all.
