UEFI 2.8 defines an EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute bit to augment the
interpretation of the EFI Memory Types as "reserved for a special
purpose".
The proposed Linux behavior for specific purpose memory is that it is
reserved for direct-access (device-dax) by default and not available for
any kernel usage, not even as an OOM fallback. Later, through udev
scripts or another init mechanism, these device-dax claimed ranges can
be reconfigured and hot-added to the available System-RAM with a unique
node identifier.
This patch introduces 3 new concepts at once given the entanglement
between early boot enumeration relative to memory that can optionally be
reserved from the kernel page allocator by default. The new concepts
are:
- E820_TYPE_SPECIFIC: Upon detecting the EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute on
EFI_CONVENTIONAL memory, update the E820 map with this new type. Only
perform this classification if the CONFIG_EFI_SPECIFIC_DAX=y policy is
enabled, otherwise treat it as typical ram.
- IORES_DESC_APPLICATION_RESERVED: Add a new I/O resource descriptor for
a device driver to search iomem resources for application specific
memory. Teach the iomem code to identify such ranges as "Application
Reserved".
- MEMBLOCK_APP_SPECIFIC: Given the memory ranges can fallback to the
traditional System RAM pool the expectation is that they will have
typical SRAT entries. In order to support a policy of device-dax by
default with the option to hotplug later, the numa initialization code
is taught to avoid marking online MEMBLOCK_APP_SPECIFIC regions.
A follow-on change integrates parsing of the ACPI HMAT to identify the
node and sub-range boundaries of EFI_MEMORY_SP designated memory. For
now, just identify and reserve memory of this type.

+ On systems that have mixed performance classes of memory EFI
+ may indicate specific purpose memory with an attribute (See
+ EFI_MEMORY_SP in UEFI 2.8). A memory range tagged with this
+ attribute may have unique performance characteristics compared

+ arrange for the kernel to reserve it for direct-access

+ optionally assigned to the page allocator by system
+ administrator policy via the device-dax kmem facility. Say N
+ to have the kernel treat this memory as general purpose by
