In preparation for a facility that enables dax regions to be sub-divided,
introduce infrastructure to track and allocate region capacity.
The new dax_region/available_size attribute is only enabled for volatile
hmem devices, not pmem devices that are defined by nvdimm namespace
boundaries. This is per Jeff's feedback the last time dynamic device-dax
capacity allocation support was discussed.

The passed in dev_pagemap is only required in the pmem case as the
libnvdimm core may have reserved a vmem_altmap for dev_memremap_pages() to
place the memmap in pmem directly. In the hmem case there is no agent
reserving an altmap so it can all be handled by a core internal default.

zero_page_range() dax operation is mandatory for dax devices. Right now
that check happens in dax_zero_page_range() function. Dan thinks that's
too late and its better to do the check earlier in alloc_dax().
I also modified alloc_dax() to return pointer with error code in it in
case of failure. Right now it returns NULL and caller assumes failure
happened due to -ENOMEM. But with this ->zero_page_range() check, I
need to return -EINVAL instead.

device-dax based devices were missing a 'resource' attribute to indicate
the physical address range contributed by the device in question. This
information is desirable to userspace tooling that may want to use the
dax device as system-ram, and wants to selectively hotplug and online
the memory blocks associated with a given device.
Without this, the tooling would have to parse /proc/iomem for the memory
ranges contributed by dax devices, which can be a workaround, but it is
far easier to provide this information in the sysfs hierarchy.

Normally, udev can get the modalias from 'uevent', and that is correctly
set up by the DAX bus. However other tooling such as 'libndctl' for
interacting with drivers/nvdimm/, and 'libdaxctl' for drivers/dax/ can
also use the modalias to dynamically load modules via libkmod lookups.

Persistent memory, as described by the ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table), is the first known instance of a memory range
described by a unique "target" proximity domain. Where "initiator" and
"target" proximity domains is an approach that the ACPI HMAT
(Heterogeneous Memory Attributes Table) uses to described the unique
performance properties of a memory range relative to a given initiator
(e.g. CPU or DMA device).
Currently the numa-node for a /dev/pmemX block-device or /dev/daxX.Y
char-device follows the traditional notion of 'numa-node' where the
attribute conveys the closest online numa-node. That numa-node attribute
is useful for cpu-binding and memory-binding processes *near* the
device. However, when the memory range backing a 'pmem', or 'dax' device
is onlined (memory hot-add) the memory-only-numa-node representing that
address needs to be differentiated from the set of online nodes. In
other words, the numa-node association of the device depends on whether
you can bind processes *near* the cpu-numa-node in the offline
device-case, or bind process *on* the memory-range directly after the
backing address range is onlined.
Allow for the case that platform firmware describes persistent memory
with a unique proximity domain, i.e. when it is distinct from the
proximity of DRAM and CPUs that are on the same socket. Plumb the Linux
numa-node translation of that proximity through the libnvdimm region
device to namespaces that are in device-dax mode. With this in place the
proposed kmem driver [1] can optionally discover a unique numa-node
number for the address range as it transitions the memory from an
offline state managed by a device-driver to an online memory range
managed by the core-mm.

In support of multiple device-dax instances per device-dax-region and
allowing the 'kmem' driver to attach to dax-instances instead of the
current device-node access, convert the dax sub-system from a class to a
bus. Recall that the kmem driver takes reserved / special purpose
memories and assigns them to be managed by the core-mm.
Aside from the fact the device-dax instances are registered and probed
on a bus, two other lifetime-management changes are made:
1/ Delay attaching a cdev until driver probe time
2/ A new run_dax() helper is introduced to allow restoring dax-operation
after a kill_dax() event. So, at driver ->probe() time we run_dax()
and at ->remove() time we kill_dax() and invalidate all mappings.
