Use the newly added compound devmap facility which maps the assigned dax
ranges as compound pages at a page size of @align. Currently, this means,
that region/namespace bootstrap would take considerably less, given that
you would initialize considerably less pages.

On setups with 128G NVDIMMs the initialization with DRAM stored struct
pages improves from ~268-358 ms to ~78-100 ms with 2M pages, and to less
than a 1msec with 1G pages.

dax devices are created with a fixed @align (huge page size) which is
enforced through as well at mmap() of the device. Faults, consequently
happen too at the specified @align specified at the creation, and those
don't change through out dax device lifetime.
s/through out/throughout/
MCEs poisons a whole dax huge page, as well as splits occurring at the configured page size.
A clarification here, MCEs trigger memory_failure() to *unmap* a whole
dax huge page, the poison stays limited to a single cacheline.

Otherwise the patch looks good to me.
