36	  EFI 2.8 platforms, and others, may advertise 'specific purpose'
37	  memory. For example, a high bandwidth memory pool. The
38	  indication from platform firmware is meant to reserve the
39	  memory from typical usage by default. This driver creates
40	  device-dax instances for these memory ranges, and that also
41	  enables the possibility to assign them to the DEV_DAX_KMEM
42	  driver to override the reservation and add them to kernel
43	  "System RAM" pool.

52	  CXL RAM regions are either mapped by platform-firmware
53	  and published in the initial system-memory map as "System RAM", mapped
54	  by platform-firmware as "Soft Reserved", or dynamically provisioned
55	  after boot by the CXL driver. In the latter two cases a device-dax
56	  instance is created to access that unmapped-by-default address range.
57	  Per usual it can remain as dedicated access via a device interface, or
58	  converted to "System RAM" via the dax_kmem facility.

74	  (HMEM) marked "reserved" by platform firmware.

76	  To use this feature, a DAX device must be unbound from the
77	  device_dax driver and bound to this kmem driver on each boot.
