Subject: [PATCH v2] libnvdimm,
 e820: make CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY a tristate option

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)"
