    device-dax: Add a 'resource' attribute · 40cdc60a
    Vishal Verma authored
    device-dax based devices were missing a 'resource' attribute to indicate
    the physical address range contributed by the device in question. This
    information is desirable to userspace tooling that may want to use the
    dax device as system-ram, and wants to selectively hotplug and online
    the memory blocks associated with a given device.
    
    Without this, the tooling would have to parse /proc/iomem for the memory
    ranges contributed by dax devices, which can be a workaround, but it is
    far easier to provide this information in the sysfs hierarchy.
