Large amounts of memory managed by the kmem driver may come in via CXL,

memory itself.

Enroll kmem-managed memory for memmap_on_memory semantics if the dax
region originates via CXL. For non-CXL dax regions, retain the existing
default behavior of hot adding without memmap_on_memory semantics.

Add a sysfs override under the dax device to control this behavior and
override either default.
