+/*
+ * Static dax regions are regions created by an external subsystem
+ * nvdimm where a single range is assigned. Its boundaries are by the external
+ * subsystem and are usually limited to one physical memory range. For example,
+ * for PMEM it is usually defined by NVDIMM Namespace boundaries (i.e. a
+ * single contiguous range)
+ *
+ * On dynamic dax regions, the assigned region can be partitioned by dax core
+ * into multiple subdivisions. A subdivision is represented into one
+ * /dev/daxN.M device composed by one or more potentially discontiguous ranges.
+ *
+ * When allocating a dax region, drivers must set whether it's static
+ * (IORESOURCE_DAX_STATIC).  On static dax devices, the @pgmap is pre-assigned
+ * to dax core when calling devm_create_dev_dax(), whereas in dynamic dax
+ * devices it is NULL but afterwards allocated by dax core on device ->probe().
+ * Care is needed to make sure that dynamic dax devices are torn down with a
+ * cleared @pgmap field (see kill_dev_dax()).
