    libnvdimm, pmem: direct map legacy pmem by default · 004f1afb

    The expectation is that the legacy / non-standard pmem discovery method
    (e820 type-12) will only ever be used to describe small quantities of
    persistent memory.  Larger capacities will be described via the ACPI
    NFIT.  When "allocate struct page from pmem" support is added this default
    policy can be overridden by assigning a legacy pmem namespace to a pfn
    device, however this would be only be necessary if a platform used the
    legacy mechanism to define a very large range.
