[PATCH 4/4] dax: register seed device

From: Dan Williams
Date: Tue Aug 16 2016 - 13:12:47 EST


Towards adding support for sub-dividing device-dax regions, add a seed
device. Similar to libnvdimm a 'seed' device is un-configured device
that is enabled after setting configuration parameters. After a given
seed device is enabled another is created and this process repeats until
no more seed devices can be activated due to dax_available_size being
exhausted.

For now, this simply registers a seed instance after the first dax
device instance is established.
