    device-dax: add an allocation interface for device-dax instances · c2f3011e
    Dan Williams authored
    In preparation for a facility that enables dax regions to be sub-divided,
    introduce infrastructure to track and allocate region capacity.
    
    The new dax_region/available_size attribute is only enabled for volatile
    hmem devices, not pmem devices that are defined by nvdimm namespace
    boundaries.  This is per Jeff's feedback the last time dynamic device-dax
    capacity allocation support was discussed.
