A "region" device represents the maximum capacity of a BLK range (mmio
block-data-window(s)), or a PMEM range (DAX-capable persistent memory or
volatile memory), without regard for aliasing.  Aliasing, in the
dimm-local address space (DPA), is resolved by metadata on a dimm to
designate which exclusive interface will access the aliased DPA ranges.
Support for the per-dimm metadata/label arrvies is in a subsequent
patch.

The name format of "region" devices is "regionN" where, like dimms, N is
a global ida index assigned at discovery time.  This id is not reliable
across reboots nor in the presence of hotplug.  Look to attributes of
the region or static id-data of the sub-namespace to generate a
persistent name.  However, if the platform configuration does not change
it is reasonable to expect the same region id to be assigned at the next
boot.

"region"s have 2 generic attributes "size", and "mapping"s where:
- size: the BLK accessible capacity or the span of the
  system physical address range in the case of PMEM.

- mappingN: a tuple describing a dimm's contribution to the region's
  capacity in the format (<nmemX>,<dpa>,<size>).  For a
  PMEM-region there will be at least one mapping per dimm in the interleave
  set.  For a BLK-region there is only "mapping0" listing the starting
  DPA of the BLK-region and the available DPA capacity of that space
  (matches "size" above).

The max number of mappings per "region" is hard coded per the constraints of
sysfs attribute groups.  That said the number of mappings per region should
never exceed the maximum number of possible dimms in the system.  If the
current number turns out to not be enough then the "mappings" attribute
clarifies how many there are supposed to be. "32 should be enough for
anybody...".
