device-dax: Add a driver for "hmem" devices
Platform firmware like EFI/ACPI may publish "hmem" platform devices. Such a device is a performance differentiated memory range likely reserved for an application specific use case. The driver gives access to 100% of the capacity via a device-dax mmap instance by default. However, if over-subscription and other kernel memory management is desired the resulting dax device can be assigned to the core-mm via the kmem driver. This consumes "hmem" devices the producer of "hmem" devices is saved for a follow-on patch so that it can reference the new CONFIG_DEV_DAX_HMEM symbol to gate performing the enumeration work.
