The dax/kmem driver can potentially hot-add large amounts of memory
originating from CXL memory expanders, or NVDIMMs, or other 'device
memories'. There is a chance there isn't enough regular system memory
available to fit the memmap for this new memory. It's therefore
desirable, if all other conditions are met, for the kmem managed memory
to place its memmap on the newly added memory itself.
The main hurdle for accomplishing this for kmem is that memmap_on_memory
can only be done if the memory being added is equal to the size of one
memblock. To overcome this, allow the hotplug code to split an add_memory()
request into memblock-sized chunks, and try_remove_memory() to also
expect and handle such a scenario.
Patch 1 replaces an open-coded kmemdup()
Patch 2 teaches the memory_hotplug code to allow for splitting
add_memory() and remove_memory() requests over memblock sized chunks.
Patch 3 allows the dax region drivers to request memmap_on_memory
semantics. CXL dax regions default this to 'on', all others default to
off to keep existing behavior unchanged.

- Separate out per-memblock operations from per memory block operations

This does expand the scope of the memory hotplug lock to include
remove_memory_block_devices(), but the alternative was to drop the
lock in the inner function separately for each iteration, and then
re-acquire it in try_remove_memory() creating a small window where

2.41.0
The MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY flag for hotplugged memory is restricted to
'memblock_size' chunks of memory being added. Adding a larger span of
memory precludes memmap_on_memory semantics.
For users of hotplug such as kmem, large amounts of memory might get
added from the CXL subsystem. In some cases, this amount may exceed the
available 'main memory' to store the memmap for the memory being added.
In this case, it is useful to have a way to place the memmap on the
memory being added, even if it means splitting the addition into
memblock-sized chunks.
Change add_memory_resource() to loop over memblock-sized chunks of
memory if caller requested memmap_on_memory, and if other conditions for
it are met. Teach try_remove_memory() to also expect that a memory
range being removed might have been split up into memblock sized chunks,
and to loop through those as needed.
This does preclude being able to use PUD mappings in the direct map; a
proposal to how this could be optimized in the future is laid out
here[1].

2.41.0
Large amounts of memory managed by the kmem driver may come in via CXL,
and it is often desirable to have the memmap for this memory on the new
memory itself.
Enroll kmem-managed memory for memmap_on_memory semantics if the dax
region originates via CXL. For non-CXL dax regions, retain the existing
default behavior of hot adding without memmap_on_memory semantics.
