Platform firmware like EFI/ACPI may publish "hmem" platform devices.
Such a device is a performance differentiated memory range likely
reserved for an application specific use case. The driver gives access
to 100% of the capacity via a device-dax mmap instance by default.
However, if over-subscription and other kernel memory management is
desired the resulting dax device can be assigned to the core-mm via the
kmem driver.

+ EFI 2.8 platforms, and others, may advertise 'special purpose'
+ memory. For example, a high bandwidth memory pool. The
+ indication from platform firmware is meant to reserve the
+ memory from typical usage by default. This driver creates
+ device-dax instances for these memory ranges, and that also
+ enables the possibility to assign them to the DEV_DAX_KMEM
+ driver to override the reservation and add them to kernel
