+OPAL_NEST_IMC_COUNTERS_CONTROL
+==============================
+
+OPAL call interface for per-chip nest instrumentation support.
+Currently, the interface supports starting and stopping the In Memory
+Collection Microcode running in the OCC complex for Nest
+Instrumentation from Host OS.
+
+The interface can be extended to include more modes and operations to use
+the multiple debug modes for nest IMC instrumentation.
+
+Parameters
+----------
+``uint64_t mode``
+  Currently, only production mode is supported.
+  The "OPAL_NEST_IMC_PRODUCTION_MODE" macro defined in "include/imc.h"
+  is used for this.
+
+``uint64_t operation``
+  For "OPAL_NEST_IMC_PRODUCTION_MODE" mode, this parameter is used
+  to start and stop the IMC microcode. (include/opal-api.h)
+
+  - OPAL_NEST_IMC_STOP -- Stop
+  - OPAL_NEST_IMC_START -- Start
+
+  For other modes, this parameter is undefined for now.
+
+``uint64_t value_1``
+  - For "OPAL_NEST_IMC_PRODUCTION_MODE" mode, this parameter should be
+    zero.
+  - For other modes, this parameter is undefined for now.
+
+``uint64_t value_3``
+  - For "OPAL_NEST_IMC_PRODUCTION_MODE" mode, this parameter should be
+    zero.
+  - For other modes, this parameter is undefined for now.
+
+Returns
+-------
+OPAL_PARAMETER
+  In any one/some/all of the following cases :
+
+  - Unsupported ``mode``
+  - Unsupported ``operation``
+  - Non-zero ``value_1`` or ``value_2``
+OPAL_HARDWARE
+   If xscom_write fails.
+OPAL_SUCCESS
+   On successful execution of the ``operation`` in the given ``mode``.
