Dan Williams ba09c01d2f dax: convert to the cdev api
A goal of the device-DAX interface is to be able to support many
exclusive allocations (partitions) of performance / feature
differentiated memory.  This count may exceed the default minors limit
of 256.

As a result of switching to an embedded cdev the inode-to-dax_dev
conversion is simplified, as well as reference counting which can switch
to the cdev kobject lifetime.

Support raw access to differentiated (persistence, bandwidth,
latency...) memory via an mmap(2) capable character
device. Platform firmware or a device driver may identify a
platform memory resource that is differentiated from the
baseline memory pool. Mappings of a /dev/daxX.Y device impose
restrictions that make the mapping behavior deterministic.

Support raw access to persistent memory. Note that this
driver consumes memory ranges allocated and exported by the
libnvdimm sub-system.
