[RFC PATCH 4/6] mm/page_alloc: adjust the start,end in dax pmem kmem case

From: Jia He
Date: Tue Jul 28 2020 - 23:35:46 EST


There are 3 cases when doing online pages:
- normal RAM, should be aligned with memory block size
- persistent memory with ZONE_DEVICE
- persistent memory used as normal RAM (kmem) with ZONE_NORMAL, this patch
tries to adjust the start_pfn/end_pfn after finding the corresponding
resource range.

Without this patch, the check of __init_single_page when doing online memory
will be failed because those pages haven't been mapped in mmu(not present
from mmu's point of view).
