System block allows the device to initialize with its configured media
manager. The system blocks is written to disk, and read again when media
manager is determined. For this to work, the backend must store the
data. Device drivers, such as null_blk, does not have any backend
storage. This patch allows the media manager to be initialized without a
storage backend.
It also fix incorrect configuration of capabilities in null_blk, as it
does not support get/set bad block interface.

This patch fixes an error on the calculation of intersecting logical

several addresses intersects with a single locked address. This case is
typical when multiple pages are sent in a new request, while GC - which
at the moment sends one address at the time - is running.

Now that a device can be managed using the system blocks, a method to
reset the device is necessary as well. This patch introduces logic to
reset the device easily to factory state and exposes it through an
ioctl.
The ioctl takes the following flags:
NVM_FACTORY_ERASE_ONLY_USER
By default all blocks, except host-reserved blocks are erased upon
factory reset. Instead of this, only erase host-reserved blocks.
NVM_FACTORY_RESET_HOST_BLKS
Mark host-reserved blocks to be erased and set their type to free.
NVM_FACTORY_RESET_GRWN_BBLKS
Mark "grown bad blocks" to be erased and set their type to free.

This enables the LightNVM subsystem to instantiate a media manager

An Open-Channel SSD shall be initialized before use. To initialize, we
define an on-disk format, that keeps a small set of metadata to bring up
the media manager on top of the device.
The initial step is introduced to allow a user to format the disks for a
given media manager. During format, a system block is stored on one to
three separate luns on the device. Each lun has the system block
duplicated. During initialization, the system block can be retrieved and
the appropriate media manager can initialized.
The on-disk format currently covers (struct nvm_system_block):
- Magic value "NVMS".
- Monotonic increasing sequence number.
- The physical block erase count.
- Version of the system block format.
- Media manager type.
- Media manager superblock physical address.
The interface provides three functions to manage the system block:
int nvm_init_sysblock(struct nvm_dev *, struct nvm_sb_info *)
int nvm_get_sysblock(struct nvm *dev, struct nvm_sb_info *)
int nvm_update_sysblock(struct nvm *dev, struct nvm_sb_info *)
Each implement a part of the logic to manage the system block. The
initialization creates the first system blocks and mark them on the
device. Get retrieves the latest system block by scanning all pages in
the associated system blocks. The update sysblock writes new metadata
and allocates new block if necessary.

NAND MLC memories have both lower and upper pages. When programming,
both of these must be written, before data can be read. However,
these lower and upper pages might not placed at even and odd flash
pages, but can be skipped. Therefore each flash memory has its lower
pages defined, which can then be used when programming and to know when
padding are necessary.
This patch implements the lower page definition in the specification,
and exposes it through a simple lookup table at dev->lptbl.

LightNVM targets need to know the state of the flash block when doing
flash optimizations. An example is implementing a write buffer to
respect the flash page size. Currently, block state is not accounted
for; the media manager only differentiates among free, bad and in-use
blocks.
This patch adds the logic in the generic media manager to enable
targets manage blocks into open and close separately, and it implements
such management in rrpc. It also adds a set of flags to describe the
state of the block (open, closed, free, bad).
In order to avoid taking two locks (nvm_lun and rrpc_lun) consecutively,
we introduce lockless get_/put_block primitives so that the open and
close list locks and future common logic is handled within the nvm_lun
lock.

To implement sync I/O support within the LightNVM core, the end_io
functions are refactored to take an end_io function pointer instead of
testing for initialized media manager, followed by calling its end_io
function.
Sync I/O can then be implemented using a callback that signal I/O
completion. This is similar to the logic found in blk_to_execute_io().
By implementing it this way, the underlying device I/Os submission logic
is abstracted away from core, targets, and media managers.

* 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
