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.

Support raw access to differentiated (persistence, bandwidth,

device. Platform firmware or a device driver may identify a

platform memory resource that is differentiated from the

baseline memory pool. Mappings of a /dev/daxX.Y device impose

restrictions that make the mapping behavior deterministic.
