UEFI 2.8 defines an EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute bit to augment the
interpretation of the EFI Memory Types as "reserved for a specific
purpose".
The proposed Linux behavior for specific purpose memory is that it is
reserved for direct-access (device-dax) by default and not available for
any kernel usage, not even as an OOM fallback. Later, through udev
scripts or another init mechanism, these device-dax claimed ranges can
be reconfigured and hot-added to the available System-RAM with a unique
node identifier.
This patch introduces 2 new concepts at once given the entanglement
between early boot enumeration relative to memory that can optionally be
reserved from the kernel page allocator by default. The new concepts
are:
- E820_TYPE_APPLICATION_RESERVED: Upon detecting the EFI_MEMORY_SP
attribute on EFI_CONVENTIONAL memory, update the E820 map with this
new type. Only perform this classification if the
CONFIG_EFI_SPECIFIC_DAX=y policy is enabled, otherwise treat it as
typical ram.
- IORES_DESC_APPLICATION_RESERVED: Add a new I/O resource descriptor for
a device driver to search iomem resources for application specific
memory. Teach the iomem code to identify such ranges as "Application
Reserved".
A follow-on change integrates parsing of the ACPI HMAT to identify the
node and sub-range boundaries of EFI_MEMORY_SP designated memory. For
now, just identify and reserve memory of this type.
For now this translation of EFI_CONVENTIONAL + EFI_MEMORY_SP is
x86/E820-only, but other archs could choose to publish
IORES_DESC_APPLICATION_RESERVED resources from their platform-firmware
memory map handlers.

+ On systems that have mixed performance classes of memory EFI
+ may indicate specific purpose memory with an attribute (See
+ EFI_MEMORY_SP in UEFI 2.8). A memory range tagged with this
+ attribute may have unique performance characteristics compared
+ to the system's general purpose "System RAM" pool. On the
+ expectation that such memory has application specific usage,
+ and its base EFI memory type is "conventional" answer Y to
+ arrange for the kernel to reserve it as an "Application
+ Reserved" resource, and set aside for direct-access
+ (device-dax) by default. The memory range can later be
+ optionally assigned to the page allocator by system
+ administrator policy via the device-dax kmem facility. Say N
+ to have the kernel treat this memory as "System RAM" by
