Joao Martins 5a505603a9 dax/hmem: introduce dax_hmem.region_idle parameter
Introduce a new module parameter for dax_hmem which initializes all region
devices as free, rather than allocating a pagemap for the region by
default.

All hmem devices created with dax_hmem.region_idle=1 will have full
available size for creating dynamic dax devices.

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.
