-The device-dax interface uses the tail deduplication technique explained in
-Documentation/mm/vmemmap_dedup.rst
-
-On powerpc, vmemmap deduplication is only used with radix MMU translation. Also
-with a 64K page size, only the devdax namespace with 1G alignment uses vmemmap
-deduplication.
-
-With 2M PMD level mapping, we require 32 struct pages and a single 64K vmemmap
-page can contain 1024 struct pages (64K/sizeof(struct page)). Hence there is no
-vmemmap deduplication possible.
-
-With 1G PUD level mapping, we require 16384 struct pages and a single 64K
-vmemmap page can contain 1024 struct pages (64K/sizeof(struct page)). Hence we
-require 16 64K pages in vmemmap to map the struct page for 1G PUD level mapping.

-Here's how things look like on device-dax after the sections are populated::

-With 4K page size, 2M PMD level mapping requires 512 struct pages and a single
-4K vmemmap page contains 64 struct pages(4K/sizeof(struct page)). Hence we
-require 8 4K pages in vmemmap to map the struct page for 2M pmd level mapping.
