Combined with earlier nstart/nend removal it allows to remove several locks
from request path of GEOM and few other places. It would be cool if we had
more SMP-friendly statistics, but this helps too.

Apply the same user accessible filter to namespaces as is applied
to full-SPA devices. Also, explicitly filter out control region
SPAs which don't expose the nvdimm data area.

They're formatted into the device name like unit numbers, anyway; store the
number in mda_unit => si_drv0 like dev2unit() expects.
No functional change intended.

Refactor nvdimm_spa_memattr() routine and callers to just save the value at
initialization and use the value directly. The reference value from NFIT,
MemoryMapping, is read only once, so the associated memattr could never
change.
No functional change.

nvdimm_e820 is a newbus pseudo driver that looks for "legacy" e820 PRAM
spans and creates ordinary-looking SPA devfs nodes for them
(/dev/nvdimm_spaN).
As these legacy regions lack real NFIT SPA regions and namespace
definitions, they must be administratively sliced up externally using
device.hints. This is similar in purpose to the Linux memmap= mechanism.
It is assumed that systems with working NFIT tables will not have any use
for this driver, and that that will be the prevailing style going forward,
so if there are no explicit hints provided, this driver does not
automatically create any devices.

Separate code for exposing a device backed by a system physical
address range away from the NVDIMM spa code. This will allow a
future patch to add support for NVDIMM namespaces while using the
same device code.

Move the enumeration of NVDIMM SPA ranges from the spa GEOM class
initializer into the NVDIMM root device. This will be necessary for a
later change where NVDIMM namespaces require NVDIMM device enumeration
to be reliably ordered before SPA enumeration.

The SPA ids are published numbers, so it's safe (if not a bit
annoying) to copy them into a source file.

Driver enumerates NVDIMMs. Besides, for each found System Physical
Address (SPA) range, spaN geom provider is created, which allows
formatting and mounting the region as the normal volume. Also,
/dev/nvdimm_spaN node is created, which can be read/written/mapped by
userspace, the mapping is zero-copy.
No support for block access methods implemented, labels are not
parsed. No management interfaces are provided.
