Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams:
 "The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the
  libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules:

  NFIT:
    Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory
    devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
    Interface table).

    After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region"
    devices.  A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
    boundaries of persistent memory media.  A region may span multiple
    NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller.  In
    turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
    bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block
    device (disk) interface to the memory.

  PMEM:
    Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of
    persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive
    PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core.

    In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert
    that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way
    through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media.
    See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().

  BLK:
    This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through
    "Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT.  The primary difference
    of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent
    memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in
    time.

    Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access
    different portions of the media.  BLK-mode, by definition, does not
    support DAX.

  BTT:
    This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
    converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
    update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).

    The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do
    not know they have a atomic sector dependency.  At least today's
    disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly
    gets a CRC error on access.  NVDIMMs will always tear and always
    silently.  Until an application is audited to be robust in the
    presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.
