Linus Torvalds 1f40c49570 libnvdimm for 4.7
1/ Device DAX for persistent memory:
    Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX
    (CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped
    without need of an intervening file system.  Device DAX is strict,
    precise and predictable.  Specifically this interface:
 
    a) Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size
       (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.
 
    b) Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault
       scenarios are supported.
 
    Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
    targeted for exclusive allocations of performance/feature differentiated
    memory ranges.
 
 2/ Support for the HPE DSM (device specific method) command formats.
    This enables management of these first generation devices until a
    unified DSM specification materializes.
 
 3/ Further ACPI 6.1 compliance with support for the common dimm
    identifier format.
 
 4/ Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this update was stabilized before the merge window and
  appeared in -next.  The "device dax" implementation was revised this
  week in response to review feedback, and to address failures detected
  by the recently expanded ndctl unit test suite.

  Not included in this pull request are two dax topic branches (dax
  error handling, and dax radix-tree locking).  These topics were
  deferred to get a few more days of -next integration testing, and to
  coordinate a branch baseline with Ted and the ext4 tree.  Vishal and
  Ross will send the error handling and locking topics respectively in
  the next few days.

  This branch has received a positive build result from the kbuild robot
  across 226 configs.

  Summary:

   - Device DAX for persistent memory: Device DAX is the device-centric
     analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows memory
     ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening
     file system.  Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable.
     Specifically this interface:

      a) Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size
         (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.

      b) Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what
         fault scenarios are supported.

     Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
     targeted for exclusive allocations of performance/feature
     differentiated memory ranges.

   - Support for the HPE DSM (device specific method) command formats.
     This enables management of these first generation devices until a
     unified DSM specification materializes.

   - Further ACPI 6.1 compliance with support for the common dimm
