In support of multiple device-dax instances per device-dax-region and allowing the 'kmem' driver to attach to dax-instances instead of the current device-node access, convert the dax sub-system from a class to a bus. Recall that the kmem driver takes reserved / special purpose memories and assigns them to be managed by the core-mm. Aside from the fact the device-dax instances are registered and probed on a bus, two other lifetime-management changes are made: 1/ Delay attaching a cdev until driver probe time 2/ A new run_dax() helper is introduced to allow restoring dax-operation after a kill_dax() event. So, at driver ->probe() time we run_dax() and at ->remove() time we kill_dax() and invalidate all mappings. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
