From: Navneet Singh <navneet.singh@intel.com>

Dynamic Capacity CXL regions must allow memory to be added or removed
dynamically.  In addition to the quantity of memory available the
location of the memory within a DC partition is dynamic based on the
extents offered by a device.  CXL DAX regions must accommodate the
sparseness of this memory in the management of DAX regions and devices.

Introduce the concept of a sparse DAX region.  Add a create_dc_region()
sysfs entry to create such regions.  Special case DC capable regions to
create a 0 sized seed DAX device to maintain compatibility which
requires a default DAX device to hold a region reference.

Indicate 0 byte available capacity until such time that capacity is
added.

Sparse regions complicate the range mapping of dax devices.  There is no
known use case for range mapping on sparse regions.  Avoid the
complication by preventing range mapping of dax devices on sparse
regions.

Interleaving is deferred for now.  Add checks.

Looks fine to me, though the DAX bit is not an area I know enough about.

LGTM, and behaves as expected when tested with qemu setup.
