Subject: [PATCH v5 17/17] device-dax: add a range mapping allocation
 attribute

From: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@...cle.com>

Add a sysfs attribute which denotes a range from the dax region to be
allocated.  It's an write only @mapping sysfs attribute in the format of
'<start>-<end>' to allocate a range.  @start and @end use hexadecimal
values and the @pgoff is implicitly ordered wrt to previous writes to
@mapping sysfs e.g.  a write of a range of length 1G the pgoff is
0..1G(-4K), a second write will use @pgoff for 1G+4K..<size>.

This range mapping interface is useful for:

 1) Application which want to implement its own allocation logic,
 and thus pick the desired ranges from dax_region.

 2) For use cases like VMM fast restart[0] where after kexec we
 want to the same gpa<->phys mappings (as originally created
 before kexec).
