| EFI 2.8 platforms, and others, may advertise 'specific purpose' |
| memory. For example, a high bandwidth memory pool. The |
| indication from platform firmware is meant to reserve the |
| memory from typical usage by default. This driver creates |
| device-dax instances for these memory ranges, and that also |
| enables the possibility to assign them to the DEV_DAX_KMEM |
| driver to override the reservation and add them to kernel |
| "System RAM" pool. |

| CXL RAM regions are either mapped by platform-firmware |
| and published in the initial system-memory map as "System RAM", mapped |
| by platform-firmware as "Soft Reserved", or dynamically provisioned |
| after boot by the CXL driver. In the latter two cases a device-dax |
| instance is created to access that unmapped-by-default address range. |
| Per usual it can remain as dedicated access via a device interface, or |
| converted to "System RAM" via the dax_kmem facility. |

| Support access to persistent, or other performance |
| differentiated memory as if it were System RAM. This allows |
| easier use of persistent memory by unmodified applications, or |
| adds core kernel memory services to heterogeneous memory types |
| (HMEM) marked "reserved" by platform firmware. |
| |
| To use this feature, a DAX device must be unbound from the |
| device_dax driver and bound to this kmem driver on each boot. |
