libnvdimm, e820: make CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY a tristate option
We currently register a platform device for e820 type-12 memory and register a nvdimm bus beneath it. Registering the platform device triggers the device-core machinery to probe for a driver, but that search currently comes up empty. Building the nvdimm-bus registration into the e820_pmem platform device registration in this way forces libnvdimm to be built-in. Instead, convert the built-in portion of CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to simply register a platform device and move the rest of the logic to the driver for e820_pmem, for the following reasons: 1/ Letting e820_pmem support be a module allows building and testing libnvdimm.ko changes without rebooting 2/ All the normal policy around modules can be applied to e820_pmem (unbind to disable and/or blacklisting the module from loading by default) 3/ Moving the driver to a generic location and converting it to scan "iomem_resource" rather than "e820.map" means any other architecture can take advantage of this simple nvdimm resource discovery mechanism by registering a resource named "Persistent Memory (legacy)" Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
