+OPAL_NEST_IMA_CONTROL
+----------------------
+
+This OPAL call allows the host OS to start or stop the PORE SLW IMA engine for
+Nest instrumentation. List of supported Nest PMU units and their events are
+part of Hardware meta-data file called "Catalogue". Engine programs these
+pre-defined events to the Nest PMU and periodically captures the data from the
+Nest counter and moves the data to a specific memory (which is part of
+HOMER region). HOMER Region has a reserved offset for PORE SLW IMA Engine to
+dump the Nest Counter data. Host OS should map this region to get the counter
+data.
+
+OPAL_NEST_IMA_CONTROL call accepts two parameters:
+
+	Mode (uint64_t):
+		Currently only production mode is supported by the PORE SLW IMA
+		Engine.	"SLW_IMA_MODE_PRODUCTION" macro defined in "nest.h"
+		used for this.
+
+	Value (uint64_6):
+		Value to start and stop the engine.
+		0x0 -- Stop
+		0x1 -- Start
+
+OPAL_NEST_IMA_CONTROL will return:
+	OPAL_SUCCESS on success and IMA_PTS_ERROR on failure.
