ACPI 6.0 formalizes e820-type-7 and efi-type-14 as persistent memory.
Mark it "reserved" and allow it to be claimed by a persistent memory
device driver.
This definition is in addition to the Linux kernel's existing type-12
definition that was recently added in support of shipping platforms with
NVDIMM support that predate ACPI 6.0 (which now classifies type-12 as
OEM reserved). We may choose to exploit this wealth of definitions for
NVDIMMs to differentiate E820_PRAM (type-12) from E820_PMEM (type-7).
One potential differentiation is that PMEM is not backed by struct page
by default in contrast to PRAM. For now, they are effectively treated
as aliases by the mm.
Note, /proc/iomem can be consulted for differentiating legacy
"Persistent RAM" E820_PRAM vs standard "Persistent I/O Memory"
E820_PMEM.
