Jérôme Glisse 4ef589dc9b mm/hmm/devmem: device memory hotplug using ZONE_DEVICE
This introduce a simple struct and associated helpers for device driver to
use when hotpluging un-addressable device memory as ZONE_DEVICE.  It will
find a unuse physical address range and trigger memory hotplug for it
which allocates and initialize struct page for the device memory.

Device driver should use this helper during device initialization to
hotplug the device memory.  It should only need to remove the memory once
the device is going offline (shutdown or hotremove).  There should not be
any userspace API to hotplug memory expect maybe for host device driver to
allow to add more memory to a guest device driver.

Device's memory is manage by the device driver and HMM only provides
helpers to that effect.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
