Dan Williams a6c7f4c6ae device-dax: Add a driver for "hmem" devices
Platform firmware like EFI/ACPI may publish "hmem" platform devices.
Such a device is a performance differentiated memory range likely
reserved for an application specific use case. The driver gives access
to 100% of the capacity via a device-dax mmap instance by default.

However, if over-subscription and other kernel memory management is
desired the resulting dax device can be assigned to the core-mm via the
kmem driver.

This consumes "hmem" devices the producer of "hmem" devices is saved for
a follow-on patch so that it can reference the new CONFIG_DEV_DAX_HMEM
symbol to gate performing the enumeration work.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
