Add a sysfs attribute which denotes a range from the dax region to be
allocated. It's an write only @mapping sysfs attribute in the format of
'<start>-<end>' to allocate a range. @start and @end use hexadecimal
values and the @pgoff is implicitly ordered wrt to previous writes to
@mapping sysfs e.g. a write of a range of length 1G the pgoff is
0..1G(-4K), a second write will use @pgoff for 1G+4K..<size>.
This range mapping interface is useful for:
1) Application which want to implement its own allocation logic, and
thus pick the desired ranges from dax_region.
2) For use cases like VMM fast restart[0] where after kexec we want
to the same gpa<->phys mappings (as originally created before kexec).
