Subject: nvdimm/pmem: treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal
Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2024 13:49:03 -0500
In preparation for checking whether the architecture has data cache
aliasing within alloc_dax(), modify the error handling of nvdimm/pmem
pmem_attach_disk() to treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal.
For the transition, consider that alloc_dax() returning NULL is the same
as returning -EOPNOTSUPP.
