While the parent series generalizes vmemmap optimization across HugeTLB and device DAX, this subset addresses a single, self-contained step: switching device DAX to the section-based sparse-vmemmap optimization infrastructure introduced for HugeTLB. After the HugeTLB conversion, optimized vmemmap state is described by the memory section and the sparse-vmemmap population path can allocate or reuse shared tail vmemmap pages based on that metadata. Device DAX still uses the older DAX-specific population model, including a separate tail vmemmap page reservation and architecture-specific logic to locate or populate reusable tail pages. This series makes device DAX use the same section-based model. Device DAX records the compound page order from pgmap->vmemmap_shift in section metadata before vmemmap population, uses the common per-zone shared tail vmemmap page, and drops the extra reserved tail page. The powerpc radix path is updated to use the same shared tail-page helper, so the generic and powerpc DAX paths follow the same reservation model. The first patches prepare the shared infrastructure by factoring out shared tail-page allocation, allocating the per-zone shared tail-page array dynamically, and introducing a generic CONFIG_VMEMMAP_OPTIMIZATION symbol. The middle patches move device DAX onto that infrastructure by recording the device DAX compound page order in memory-section metadata, using that metadata to back generic device DAX mappings with the common per-zone shared tail page, exposing the shared helpers so the powerpc radix path can use the same model, and dropping the extra DAX-only tail page reservation and the now-unused section accounting arguments. The final patch updates the documentation for the new DAX layout. This is intended to be the third smaller step toward the broader HVO generalization. The wider HVO consolidation between HugeTLB and device DAX is left for follow-up series.
