This merges cleanly with, and is identical to the include/acpi/ NFIT enabling in Rafael's linux-pm.git/bleeding-edge branch. 3/ Fix up some miscellaneous checkpatch issues (Robert). This branch has passed a full run through Fengguang's 0-day-kbuild-robot with no outstanding reports, and it passes* our unit tests defined in the ndctl repo (https://github.com/pmem/ndctl). As you can see the magnitude of the review feedback has dropped off precipitously so I feel confident in recommending this branch as a merge candidate. Some general notes and credits appear in the tag-message below. Thanks Jens! * We have a handful of minor features pending behind this release that are exercised in the latest unit tests. However, these patches have been held back to save the libnd review effort from chasing a moving target. === The following changes since commit 4c1eaa2344fb26bb5e936fb4d8ee307343ea0089: drivers/block/pmem: Fix 32-bit build warning in pmem_alloc() (2015-04-01 17:03:57 +0200) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm tags/libnd-for-jens for you to fetch changes up to dbcc765a7830454abb78e5352147324605455116: libnd: Non-Volatile Devices (2015-05-27 02:48:52 -0400) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Initial LIBND submission The LIBND sub-system provides generic support for non-volatile memory devices. It extends the kernel's existing X86_PMEM_LEGACY support to also enable devices that conform to the NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table (NFIT) specification published with ACPI 6 (http://www.uefi.org/specifications). NFIT describes devices that may include both a BLK (mmio aperture I/O) mode of operation as well as PMEM (direct cpu load/store to a persistent memory range). In addition to the generic LIBND bus driver implementation and the I/O drivers (BLK and PMEM), a driver for layering atomic sector update semantics on top of byte-addressable-memory, BTT, is also included. See Documentation/blockdev/libnd.txt and Documentation/blockdev/btt.txt for more details.
