Dan Williams cf1e22891b device-dax: kill NR_DEV_DAX
There is no point to ask how many device-dax instances the kernel should
support. Since we are already using a dynamic major number, just allow
the max number of minors by default and be done. This also fixes the
fact that the proposed max for the NR_DEV_DAX range was larger than what
could be supported by alloc_chrdev_region().

Fixes: ba09c01d2f ("dax: convert to the cdev api")

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
libnvdimm sub-system.
