Matias Bjørling 1145046983 lightnvm: update bad block table format
The specification was changed to reflect a multi-value bad block table.
Instead of bit-based bad block table, the bad block table now allows
eight bad block categories. Currently four are defined:

 * Factory bad blocks
 * Grown bad blocks
 * Device-side reserved blocks
 * Host-side reserved blocks

The factory and grown bad blocks are the regular bad blocks. The
reserved blocks are either for internal use or external use. In
particular, the device-side reserved blocks allows the host to
bootstrap from a limited number of flash blocks. Reducing the flash
blocks to scan upon super block initialization.

Support for both get bad block table and set bad block table is added.

Dan Carpenter 5f436e5ef1 nvme: lightnvm: clean up a data type
"nlb_pr_rq" can't be more than u32 because "len" is a u32.  Later we
truncate it to u32 anyway when we calculate min_t().

Matias Bjørling ca0640850e nvme: LightNVM support
The first generation of Open-Channel SSDs is based on NVMe. The NVMe
driver is extended with support for the LightNVM command set.

Detection is made through PCI IDs. Current supported devices are the
qemu nvme simulator and CNEX Labs Westlake SSD. The qemu nvme enables
support through vendor specific bits in the namespace identification and
the CNEX Labs Westlake SSD implements a LightNVM compatible firmware and
is detected using the same method as qemu.

After detection, vendor specific codes are used to identify the device
and enumerate supported features.
