Dan Williams c5ed926864 libnvdimm, dax: autodetect support
For autodetecting a previously established dax configuration we need the
info block to indicate block-device vs device-dax mode, and we need to
have the default namespace probe hand-off the configuration to the
dax_pmem driver.

Dan Williams cd03412a51 libnvdimm, dax: introduce device-dax infrastructure
Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX
(CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows persistent memory ranges to be allocated and
mapped without need of an intervening file system.  This initial
infrastructure arranges for a libnvdimm pfn-device to be represented as
a different device-type so that it can be attached to a driver other
than the pmem driver.
