Dan Williams 5ccac54f3e ACPI: HMAT: attach a device for each soft-reserved range 
The hmem enabling in commit cf8741ac57 ("ACPI: NUMA: HMAT: Register
"soft reserved" memory as an "hmem" device") only registered ranges to the
hmem driver for each soft-reservation that also appeared in the HMAT.
While this is meant to encourage platform firmware to "do the right thing"
and publish an HMAT, the corollary is that platforms that fail to publish
an accurate HMAT will strand memory from Linux usage.  Additionally, the
"efi_fake_mem" kernel command line option enabling will strand memory by
default without an HMAT.

Arrange for "soft reserved" memory that goes unclaimed by HMAT entries to
be published as raw resource ranges for the hmem driver to consume.

Include a module parameter to disable either this fallback behavior, or
the hmat enabling from creating hmem devices.  The module parameter
requires the hmem device enabling to have unique name in the module
namespace: "device_hmem".

The driver depends on the architecture providing phys_to_target_node()
which is only x86 via numa_meminfo() and arm64 via a generic memblock
implementation.

README 

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.
