Persistent memory, as described by the ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table), is the first known instance of a memory range
described by a unique "target" proximity domain. Where "initiator" and
"target" proximity domains is an approach that the ACPI HMAT
(Heterogeneous Memory Attributes Table) uses to described the unique
performance properties of a memory range relative to a given initiator
(e.g. CPU or DMA device).
Currently the numa-node for a /dev/pmemX block-device or /dev/daxX.Y
char-device follows the traditional notion of 'numa-node' where the
attribute conveys the closest online numa-node. That numa-node attribute
is useful for cpu-binding and memory-binding processes *near* the
device. However, when the memory range backing a 'pmem', or 'dax' device
is onlined (memory hot-add) the memory-only-numa-node representing that
address needs to be differentiated from the set of online nodes. In
other words, the numa-node association of the device depends on whether
you can bind processes *near* the cpu-numa-node in the offline
device-case, or bind process *on* the memory-range directly after the
backing address range is onlined.
Allow for the case that platform firmware describes persistent memory
with a unique proximity domain, i.e. when it is distinct from the
proximity of DRAM and CPUs that are on the same socket. Plumb the Linux
numa-node translation of that proximity through the libnvdimm region
device to namespaces that are in device-dax mode. With this in place the
proposed kmem driver [1] can optionally discover a unique numa-node
number for the address range as it transitions the memory from an
offline state managed by a device-driver to an online memory range
managed by the core-mm.

There is currently a mismatch between the resources that will trigger
the e820_pmem driver to register/load and the resources that will
actually be surfaced as pmem ranges. register_e820_pmem() uses
walk_iomem_res_desc() which includes children and siblings. In contrast,
e820_pmem_probe() only considers top level resources. For example the
following resource tree results in the driver being loaded, but no
resources being registered:
398000000000-39bfffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:ae
39be00000000-39bf07ffffff : PCI Bus 0000:af
39be00000000-39beffffffff : 0000:af:00.0
39be10000000-39beffffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy)
Fix this up to allow definitions of "legacy" pmem ranges anywhere in
system-physical address space. Not that it is a recommended or safe to
define a pmem range in PCI space, but it is useful for debug /
experimentation, and the restriction on being a top-level resource was
arbitrary.

Use module_platform_driver for the e820 driver instead of open-coding it.

Let the provider module be explicitly passed in rather than implicitly
assumed by the module that calls nvdimm_bus_register(). This is in
preparation for unifying the nfit and nfit_test driver teardown paths.

Change the callers of walk_iomem_res() scanning for the
following resources by name to use walk_iomem_res_desc()
instead.
"ACPI Tables"
"ACPI Non-volatile Storage"
"Persistent Memory (legacy)"
"Crash kernel"
Note, the caller of walk_iomem_res() with "GART" will be removed
in a later patch.

Rather than punt on the numa node for these e820 ranges try to find a
better answer with memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() when it is available.

The expectation is that the legacy / non-standard pmem discovery method
(e820 type-12) will only ever be used to describe small quantities of
persistent memory. Larger capacities will be described via the ACPI
NFIT. When "allocate struct page from pmem" support is added this default
policy can be overridden by assigning a legacy pmem namespace to a pfn
device, however this would be only be necessary if a platform used the
legacy mechanism to define a very large range.

We currently register a platform device for e820 type-12 memory and
register a nvdimm bus beneath it. Registering the platform device
triggers the device-core machinery to probe for a driver, but that
search currently comes up empty. Building the nvdimm-bus registration
into the e820_pmem platform device registration in this way forces
libnvdimm to be built-in. Instead, convert the built-in portion of
CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to simply register a platform device and move the
rest of the logic to the driver for e820_pmem, for the following
reasons:
1/ Letting e820_pmem support be a module allows building and testing
libnvdimm.ko changes without rebooting
2/ All the normal policy around modules can be applied to e820_pmem
(unbind to disable and/or blacklisting the module from loading by
default)
3/ Moving the driver to a generic location and converting it to scan
"iomem_resource" rather than "e820.map" means any other architecture can
take advantage of this simple nvdimm resource discovery mechanism by
registering a resource named "Persistent Memory (legacy)"
