This fixies a few issues when I tried to enable pmem as RAM device on arm64.
To use memory_add_physaddr_to_nid as a fallback nid, it would be better
implement a general version (__weak) in mm/memory_hotplug. After that, arm64/
sh/s390 can simply use the general version, and PowerPC/ia64/x86 will use
arch specific version.
Tested on ThunderX2 host/qemu "-M virt" guest with a nvdimm device. The
memblocks from the dax pmem device can be either hot-added or hot-removed
on arm64 guest. Also passed the compilation test on x86.
Changes:
v4: - remove "device-dax: use fallback nid when numa_node is invalid", wait
for Dan Williams' phys_addr_to_target_node() patch
- folder v3 patch1-4 into single one, no functional changes
v3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/7/8/1541
- introduce general version memory_add_physaddr_to_nid, refine the arch
specific one
- fix an uninitialization bug in v2 device-dax patch
v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/7/7/71
- Drop unnecessary patch to harden try_offline_node
- Use new solution(by David) to fix dev->target_node=-1 during probing
- Refine the mem_hotplug_begin/done patch
v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/7/5/381
