From: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: dax/hmem: introduce dax_hmem.region_idle parameter Introduce a new module parameter for dax_hmem which initializes all region devices as free, rather than allocating a pagemap for the region by default. All hmem devices created with dax_hmem.region_idle=1 will have full available size for creating dynamic dax devices.
