This move the dependency to DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT such that only
if DEV_DAX_PMEM is built as module we can allow the compat support.
This allows to test the new code easily in a emulation setup where we
often build things without module support.

Support raw access to differentiated (persistence, bandwidth,

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