    dax: convert to the cdev api · ba09c01d
    Dan Williams authored
    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.
