[PATCH v3 2/2] dax/kmem: allow kmem to add memory with memmap_on_memory

From: Vishal Verma
Date: Wed Aug 02 2023 - 01:56:09 EST


Large amounts of memory managed by the kmem driver may come in via CXL,
and it is often desirable to have the memmap for this memory on the new
memory itself.

Enroll kmem-managed memory for memmap_on_memory semantics as a default.
Add a sysfs override under the dax device to opt out of this behavior.
