The DEV_DAX_KMEM facility is a generic mechanism to allow device-dax instances, fronting performance-differentiated-memory like pmem, to be added to the System RAM pool. The NUMA node for that hot-added memory is derived from the device-dax instance's 'target_node' attribute. Recall that the 'target_node' is the ACPI-PXM-to-node translation for memory when it comes online whereas the 'numa_node' attribute of the device represents the closest online cpu node. Presently useful target_node information from the ACPI SRAT is discarded with the expectation that "Reserved" memory will never be onlined. Now, DEV_DAX_KMEM violates that assumption, there is a need to retain the translation. Move, rather than discard, numa_memblk data to a secondary array that memory_add_physaddr_to_target_node() may consider at a later point in time.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
