    e820, efi: add ACPI 6.0 persistent memory types · ad5fb870
    Dan Williams authored
    ACPI 6.0 formalizes e820-type-7 and efi-type-14 as persistent memory.
    Mark it "reserved" and allow it to be claimed by a persistent memory
    device driver.
    
    This definition is in addition to the Linux kernel's existing type-12
    definition that was recently added in support of shipping platforms with
    NVDIMM support that predate ACPI 6.0 (which now classifies type-12 as
    OEM reserved).
    
    Note, /proc/iomem can be consulted for differentiating legacy
    "Persistent Memory (legacy)" E820_PRAM vs standard "Persistent Memory"
    E820_PMEM.
