This series provides a new sysfs representation for heterogeneous system memory. The previous series that was specific to HMAT that this series was based on was last posted here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/13/968 Platforms may provide multiple types of cpu attached system memory. The memory ranges for each type may have different characteristics that applications may wish to know about when considering what node they want their memory allocated from. It had previously been difficult to describe these setups as memory rangers were generally lumped into the NUMA node of the CPUs. New platform attributes have been created and in use today that describe the more complex memory hierarchies that can be created. This series first creates new generic APIs under the kernel's node representation. These new APIs can be used to create links among local memory and compute nodes and export characteristics about the memory nodes. Documentation desribing the new representation are provided. Finally the series adds a kernel user for these new APIs from parsing the ACPI HMAT.
