A 'struct device_type' instance can carry default attributes for the
device. Use this facility to remove the export of
nd_numa_attribute_group and put the responsibility on the core rather
than leaf implementations to define this attribute.

can we also expose target_node in a similar way? This allows application
to better understand the node locality of the SCM device.

It is already exported for device-dax instances. See
DEVICE_ATTR_RO(target_node) in drivers/dax/bus.c. I did not see a use
case for it to be exported for other nvdimm device types.

some applications do want to access the fsdax namspace as different 
mount points based on numa affinity. If can differentiate the two 
regions with different target_node and same numa_node, that will help 
them better isolate these mounts.

Can you be more explicit than "some", and what's the impact if the
kernel continues with the status quo and does not export this data?
I'm trying to come up with the justification to include into the
changelog that adds that information.

At least on the pmem platforms I am working with the pmem ranges with
different target nodes also appear on different numa nodes so there is
no incremental benefit for target node there.
