On a platform where 'Persistent Memory' and 'System RAM' are mixed
within a given sparsemem section, trim the namespace and notify about the
sub-optimal alignment.

The altmap for a section-misaligned namespace needs to arrange for the
base_pfn to be section-aligned. As a result the 'reserve' region (pfns
from base that do not have a struct page) must be increased. Otherwise
we trip the altmap validation check in __add_pages:
if (altmap->base_pfn != phys_start_pfn
|| vmem_altmap_offset(altmap) > nr_pages) {
pr_warn_once("memory add fail, invalid altmap\n");
return -EINVAL;
}

Implement the base infrastructure for libnvdimm PFN devices. Similar to
BTT devices they take a namespace as a backing device and layer
functionality on top. In this case the functionality is reserving space
for an array of 'struct page' entries to be handed out through
pfn_to_page(). For now this is just the basic libnvdimm-device-model for
configuring the base PFN device.
As the namespace claiming mechanism for PFN devices is mostly identical
to BTT devices drivers/nvdimm/claim.c is created to house the common
bits.
