Right now, only static dax regions have a valid @pgmap pointer in its
struct dev_dax. Dynamic dax case however, do not.
In preparation for device-dax compound devmap support, make sure that
dev_dax pgmap field is set after it has been allocated and initialized.
dynamic dax device have the @pgmap is allocated at probe() and it's
managed by devm (contrast to static dax region which a pgmap is provided
and dax core kfrees it). So in addition to ensure a valid @pgmap, clear
the pgmap when the dynamic dax device is released to avoid the same
pgmap ranges to be re-requested across multiple region device reconfigs.
Add a static_dev_dax() and use that helper in dev_dax_probe() to ensure
the initialization differences between dynamic and static regions are
more explicit. While at it, consolidate the ranges initialization when
we allocate the @pgmap for the dynamic dax region case. Also take the
opportunity to document the differences between static and dynamic da
regions.

The /sys/class/dax compatibility option has shipped in the kernel for 4
years now which should be sufficient time for tools to abandon the old
ABI in favor of the /sys/bus/dax device-model. Delete it now and see if
anyone screams.
Since this compatibility option shipped there has been more reports of
users being surprised by the compat ABI than surprised by the "new", so
the compat infrastructure has outlived its usefulness. Recall that
/sys/bus/dax device-model is required for the dax kmem driver which
allows PMEM to be used as "System RAM".
The following projects were known to have a dependency on /sys/class/dax
and have dropped their dependency as of the listed version:
- ndctl (including libndctl, daxctl, and libdaxctl): v64+
- fio: v3.13+
- pmdk: v1.5.2+
As further evidence this option is no longer needed some distributions
have already stopped enabling CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT.

The driver core ignores the return value of struct bus_type::remove()
because there is only little that can be done. To simplify the quest to
make this function return void, let struct dax_device_driver::remove()
return void, too. All users already unconditionally return 0, this commit
makes it obvious that returning an error code isn't intended.

The 'struct resource' in 'struct dev_pagemap' is only used for holding
resource span information. The other fields, 'name', 'flags', 'desc',
'parent', 'sibling', and 'child' are all unused wasted space.
This is in preparation for introducing a multi-range extension of
devm_memremap_pages().
The bulk of this change is unwinding all the places internal to libnvdimm
that used 'struct resource' unnecessarily, and replacing instances of
'struct dev_pagemap'.res with 'struct dev_pagemap'.range.
P2PDMA had a minor usage of the resource flags field, but only to report
failures with "%pR". That is replaced with an open coded print of the
range.

The passed in dev_pagemap is only required in the pmem case as the
libnvdimm core may have reserved a vmem_altmap for dev_memremap_pages() to
place the memmap in pmem directly. In the hmem case there is no agent
reserving an altmap so it can all be handled by a core internal default.

Persistent memory, as described by the ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table), is the first known instance of a memory range
described by a unique "target" proximity domain. Where "initiator" and
"target" proximity domains is an approach that the ACPI HMAT
(Heterogeneous Memory Attributes Table) uses to described the unique
performance properties of a memory range relative to a given initiator
(e.g. CPU or DMA device).
Currently the numa-node for a /dev/pmemX block-device or /dev/daxX.Y
char-device follows the traditional notion of 'numa-node' where the
attribute conveys the closest online numa-node. That numa-node attribute
is useful for cpu-binding and memory-binding processes *near* the
device. However, when the memory range backing a 'pmem', or 'dax' device
is onlined (memory hot-add) the memory-only-numa-node representing that
address needs to be differentiated from the set of online nodes. In
other words, the numa-node association of the device depends on whether
you can bind processes *near* the cpu-numa-node in the offline
device-case, or bind process *on* the memory-range directly after the
backing address range is onlined.
Allow for the case that platform firmware describes persistent memory
with a unique proximity domain, i.e. when it is distinct from the
proximity of DRAM and CPUs that are on the same socket. Plumb the Linux
numa-node translation of that proximity through the libnvdimm region
device to namespaces that are in device-dax mode. With this in place the
proposed kmem driver [1] can optionally discover a unique numa-node
number for the address range as it transitions the memory from an
offline state managed by a device-driver to an online memory range
managed by the core-mm.

Move the responsibility of calling devm_request_resource() and
devm_memremap_pages() into the common device-dax driver. This is another
preparatory step to allowing an alternate personality driver for a
device-dax range.

In support of multiple device-dax instances per device-dax-region and
allowing the 'kmem' driver to attach to dax-instances instead of the
current device-node access, convert the dax sub-system from a class to a
bus. Recall that the kmem driver takes reserved / special purpose
memories and assigns them to be managed by the core-mm.
Aside from the fact the device-dax instances are registered and probed
on a bus, two other lifetime-management changes are made:
1/ Delay attaching a cdev until driver probe time
2/ A new run_dax() helper is introduced to allow restoring dax-operation
after a kill_dax() event. So, at driver ->probe() time we run_dax()
and at ->remove() time we kill_dax() and invalidate all mappings.

Towards eliminating the dax_class, move the dax-device-attribute
enabling to a new bus.c file in the core. The amount of code
thrash of sub-sequent patches is reduced as no logic changes are made,
just pure code movement.
A temporary export of unregister_dex_dax() and dax_attribute_groups is
needed to preserve compilation, but those symbols become static again in
a follow-on patch.
