[merged] device-dax-add-a-range-mapping-allocation-attribute.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     Subject: device-dax: add a range mapping allocation attribute
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     device-dax-add-a-range-mapping-allocation-attribute.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: device-dax: add a range mapping allocation attribute

Add a sysfs attribute which denotes a range from the dax region to be
allocated.  It's an write only @mapping sysfs attribute in the format of
'<start>-<end>' to allocate a range.  @start and @end use hexadecimal
values and the @pgoff is implicitly ordered wrt to previous writes to
@mapping sysfs e.g.  a write of a range of length 1G the pgoff is
0..1G(-4K), a second write will use @pgoff for 1G+4K..<size>.

This range mapping interface is useful for:

 1) Application which want to implement its own allocation logic, and
    thus pick the desired ranges from dax_region.

 2) For use cases like VMM fast restart[0] where after kexec we want
    to the same gpa<->phys mappings (as originally created before kexec).
