prestoPrestoserve battery-backed memory

presto* at sbus?

The Legato Prestoserve NVRAM cards used to be part of the “NFS accelerator” product, which used the cards memory as an NFS-dedicated cache, increasing performance of NFS servers exporting filesystem as NFS protocol, version 2.

The presto driver does not attempt to achieve such a behaviour, which is questionable with the advent of NFS protocol, version 3.

Instead, it will provide direct access to the NVRAM, as a block device.
