Dan Williams cf8741ac57 ACPI: NUMA: HMAT: Register "soft reserved" memory as an "hmem" device
Memory that has been tagged EFI_MEMORY_SP, and has performance
properties described by the ACPI HMAT is expected to have an application
specific consumer.

Those consumers may want 100% of the memory capacity to be reserved from
any usage by the kernel. By default, with this enabling, a platform
device is created to represent this differentiated resource.

The device-dax "hmem" driver claims these devices by default and
provides an mmap interface for the target application.  If the
administrator prefers, the hmem resource range can be made available to
the core-mm via the device-dax hotplug facility, kmem, to online the
memory with its own numa node.

This was tested with an emulated HMAT produced by qemu (with the pending
HMAT enabling patches), and "efi_fake_mem=8G@9G:0x40000" on the kernel
command line to mark the memory ranges associated with node2 and node3
as EFI_MEMORY_SP.

qemu numa configuration options:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
