[PATCH v2 3/3] device-dax: Add system ram (add_memory()) with MHP_NO_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP

[David Hildenbrand]

Currently, when adding memory, we create entries in /sys/firmware/memmap/
as "System RAM". This does not reflect the reality and will lead to
kexec-tools to add that memory to the fixed-up initial memmap for a
kexec kernel (loaded via kexec_load()). The memory will be considered
initial System RAM by the kexec kernel.

We should let the kexec kernel decide how to use that memory - just as
we do during an ordinary reboot.

Before configuring the namespace:
	[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem
	...
	140000000-33fffffff : Persistent Memory
	  140000000-33fffffff : namespace0.0
	3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00

After configuring the namespace:
	[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem
	...
	140000000-33fffffff : Persistent Memory
	  140000000-1481fffff : namespace0.0
	  148200000-33fffffff : dax0.0
	3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00

After loading kmem:
	[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem
	...
	140000000-33fffffff : Persistent Memory
	  140000000-1481fffff : namespace0.0
	  150000000-33fffffff : dax0.0
	    150000000-33fffffff : System RAM
	3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00

After a proper reboot:
	[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem
	...
	140000000-33fffffff : Persistent Memory
	  140000000-1481fffff : namespace0.0
	  148200000-33fffffff : dax0.0
	3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00

Within the kexec kernel before this change:
	[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem
	...
	140000000-33fffffff : Persistent Memory
	  140000000-1481fffff : namespace0.0
	  150000000-33fffffff : System RAM
	3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00

Within the kexec kernel after this change:
	[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem
	...
	140000000-33fffffff : Persistent Memory
	  140000000-1481fffff : namespace0.0
	  148200000-33fffffff : dax0.0
	3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00

kexec-tools already seem to basically ignore any System RAM that's not
on top level when searching for areas to place kexec images - but also
for determining crash areas to dump via kdump. This behavior is not
changed by this patch. kexec-tools probably has to be fixed to also
include this memory in system dumps.

Note: kexec_file_load() does the right thing already within the kernel.
