Summary

No functional change intended.

The intent is to add a "legacy" e820 pmem newbus bus for nvdimm device in a
subsequent revision, and it's a little more clear if the parent buses get
independent source files.

Quite a lot of ACPI-specific logic is left in nvdimm.c; disentangling that
is a much larger change (and probably not especially useful).

Test Plan

I don't have any real NFIT nvdimm devices to confirm nothing is broken, but the
change is straightforward; it compiles.

The two lines above are the only change; the rest is straight code lift from one file to another. Reviewboard doesn't make this clear, but I think git diff/blame and SVN will (with svn cp-modify to create this file).

Is there any public specs about NVDIMM enumeration using e820 ?

I think you will get less mail if you remove this line (just in case, approved by ff)

Just Linux mailing lists and documentation, as far as I know. The device I have access to does not have much in the way of metadata. It has a single span of contiguous phyiscal addresses in SMAP with type OEM/PRAM (0xc). I noticed the same PA range is also described in SRAT; there it is divided into two equal-sized halves. The SRAT halves are marked with separate NUMA domains from each other, and are non-local to any CPU domain. But that's all so far. I don't have any NDA spec.

I plan to only enumerate these kind of spans under explicit administrative hint via a device.hints scheme, in case some BIOS describes the same region(s) with both e820 and NFIT. (And for caution, in case I am misunderstanding the limited metadata here.) I think we always prefer NFIT enumeration.
