There is currently a mismatch between the resources that will trigger
the e820_pmem driver to register/load and the resources that will
actually be surfaced as pmem ranges. register_e820_pmem() uses
walk_iomem_res_desc() which includes children and siblings. In contrast,
e820_pmem_probe() only considers top level resources. For example the
following resource tree results in the driver being loaded, but no
resources being registered:
398000000000-39bfffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:ae
39be00000000-39bf07ffffff : PCI Bus 0000:af
39be00000000-39beffffffff : 0000:af:00.0
39be10000000-39beffffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy)
Fix this up to allow definitions of "legacy" pmem ranges anywhere in
system-physical address space. Not that it is a recommended or safe to
define a pmem range in PCI space, but it is useful for debug /
experimentation, and the restriction on being a top-level resource was
arbitrary.

Use module_platform_driver for the e820 driver instead of open-coding it.

Let the provider module be explicitly passed in rather than implicitly
assumed by the module that calls nvdimm_bus_register(). This is in
preparation for unifying the nfit and nfit_test driver teardown paths.

Change the callers of walk_iomem_res() scanning for the
following resources by name to use walk_iomem_res_desc()
instead.
"ACPI Tables"
"ACPI Non-volatile Storage"
"Persistent Memory (legacy)"
"Crash kernel"
Note, the caller of walk_iomem_res() with "GART" will be removed
in a later patch.

Rather than punt on the numa node for these e820 ranges try to find a
better answer with memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() when it is available.

The expectation is that the legacy / non-standard pmem discovery method
(e820 type-12) will only ever be used to describe small quantities of
persistent memory. Larger capacities will be described via the ACPI
NFIT. When "allocate struct page from pmem" support is added this default
policy can be overridden by assigning a legacy pmem namespace to a pfn
device, however this would be only be necessary if a platform used the
legacy mechanism to define a very large range.

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)"
