Platform firmware like EFI/ACPI may publish "hmem" platform devices. Such a device is a performance differentiated memory range likely reserved for an application specific use case. The driver gives access to 100% of the capacity via a device-dax mmap instance by default. However, if over-subscription and other kernel memory management is desired the resulting dax device can be assigned to the core-mm via the kmem driver. This consumes "hmem" devices the producer of "hmem" devices is saved for a follow-on patch so that it can reference the new CONFIG_DEV_DAX_HMEM symbol to gate performing the enumeration work.

EFI 2.8 platforms, and others, may advertise 'specific purpose'
|
|
memory. For example, a high bandwidth memory pool. The
|
|
indication from platform firmware is meant to reserve the
|
|
memory from typical usage by default. This driver creates
|
|
device-dax instances for these memory ranges, and that also
|
|
enables the possibility to assign them to the DEV_DAX_KMEM
|
|
driver to override the reservation and add them to kernel
|
|
"System RAM" pool.
