Hi Dan, Jérôme and Jason,

below is a series that cleans up the dev_pagemap interface so that
it is more easily usable, which removes the need to wrap it in hmm
and thus allowing to kill a lot of code

Note: this series is on top of Linux 5.2-rc6 and has some minor
conflicts with the hmm tree that are easy to resolve.

 - pick up various ACKs

Changes since v2:
 - fix nvdimm kunit build
 - add a new memory type for device dax
 - fix a few issues in intermediate patches that didn't show up in the end
   result
 - incorporate feedback from Michal Hocko, including killing of
   the DEVICE_PUBLIC memory type entirely

Changes since v1:
 - rebase
 - also switch p2pdma to the internal refcount
 - add type checking for pgmap->type
 - rename the migrate method to migrate_to_ram
 - cleanup the altmap_valid flag
