Dan Williams 730926c3b0 device-dax: Add /sys/class/dax backwards compatibility
On the expectation that some environments may not upgrade libdaxctl
(userspace component that depends on the /sys/class/dax hierarchy),
provide a default / legacy dax_pmem_compat driver. The dax_pmem_compat
driver implements the original /sys/class/dax sysfs layout rather than
/sys/bus/dax. When userspace is upgraded it can blacklist this module
and switch to the dax_pmem driver going forward.

CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT and supporting code will be deleted according
to the dax_pmem entry in Documentation/ABI/obsolete/.

Support raw access to differentiated (persistence, bandwidth,
latency...) memory via an mmap(2) capable character
device. Platform firmware or a device driver may identify a
platform memory resource that is differentiated from the
baseline memory pool. Mappings of a /dev/daxX.Y device impose
restrictions that make the mapping behavior deterministic.

Support raw access to persistent memory. Note that this
driver consumes memory ranges allocated and exported by the

Older versions of the libdaxctl library expect to find all
device-dax instances under /sys/class/dax. If libdaxctl in
your distribution is older than v58 say M, otherwise say N.
