Currently, NVDIMM pages will be marked 'PageReserved'. However, unlike
other reserved PFNs, pages on NVDIMM shall still behave like normal ones
in many cases, i.e. when used as backend memory of KVM guest. This patch
introduces a new memory type, MEMORY_DEVICE_DEV_DAX. Together with the
existing type MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX, we can differentiate the pages on
NVDIMM with the normal reserved pages.
