Commitcfe30b8720"libnvdimm, pmem: adjust for section collisions with 'System RAM'" enabled Linux to workaround occasions where platform firmware arranges for "System RAM" and "Persistent Memory" to collide within a single section boundary. Unfortunately, as reported in this issue [1], platform firmware can inflict the same collision between persistent memory regions. The approach of interrogating iomem_resource does not work in this case because platform firmware may merge multiple regions into a single iomem_resource range. Instead provide a method to interrogate regions that share the same parent bus. This is a stop-gap until the core-MM can grow support for hotplug on sub-section boundaries.

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.
