6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Andrew Bresticker <abrestic@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 0bcff59ef7a652fcdc6d535554b63278c2406c8f ]
Adding memblocks for soft-reserved regions prevents them from later being
hotplugged in by dax_kmem.
