It allows persistent memory ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening file system. This initial infrastructure arranges for a libnvdimm pfn-device to be represented as a different device-type so that it can be attached to a driver other than the pmem driver.

libnvdimm, dax: autodetect support

For autodetecting a previously established dax configuration we need the
info block to indicate block-device vs device-dax mode, and we need to
have the default namespace probe hand-off the configuration to the
dax_pmem driver.

libnvdimm, dax: introduce device-dax infrastructure

Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX
(CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows persistent memory ranges to be allocated and
mapped without need of an intervening file system.  This initial
infrastructure arranges for a libnvdimm pfn-device to be represented as
a different device-type so that it can be attached to a driver other
than the pmem driver.
