Given the current dearth of systems that supply an ACPI HMAT table, and
the utility of being able to manually define device-dax "hmem" instances
via the efi_fake_mem= option, relax the requirements for creating these
devices. Specifically, add an option (numa=nohmat) to optionally disable
consideration of the HMAT and update efi_fake_mem= to behave like
memmap=nn!ss in terms of delimiting device boundaries.
All review welcome of course, but the E820 changes want an x86
maintainer ack, the efi_fake_mem update needs Ard, and Rafael has
previously shepherded the HMAT changes. For the changes to
kernel/resource.c, where there is no clear maintainer, I just copied the
last few people to make thoughtful changes in that area. I am happy to
take these through the nvdimm tree along with these prerequisites
already in -next:
b2ca916ce392 ACPI: NUMA: Up-level "map to online node" functionality
4fcbe96e4d0b mm/numa: Skip NUMA_NO_NODE and online nodes in
numa_map_to_online_node()
575e23b6e13c powerpc/papr_scm: Switch to numa_map_to_online_node()
1e5d8e1e47af x86/mm: Introduce CONFIG_NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO
5d30f92e7631 x86/NUMA: Provide a range-to-target_node lookup facility
7b27a8622f80 libnvdimm/e820: Retrieve and populate correct 'target_node' info
Tested with:
numa=nohmat efi_fake_mem=4G@9G:0x40000,4G@13G:0x40000
...to create to device-dax instances:
# daxctl list -RDu
