Subject[PATCH 4/9] dax/kmem: allow PMEM devices to bind to KMEM driver
From
Date

Currently, a persistent memory device's mode must be coordinated
with the driver to which it needs to bind. To change it from the
fsdax to the device-dax driver, you first change the mode of the
device itself.

Instead of adding a new device mode, allow the PMEM mode to also
bind to the KMEM driver.

As I write this, I'm realizing that it might have just been
better to add a new device mode, rather than hijacking the PMEM
eode. If this is the case, please speak up, NVDIMM folks. :)
