* Improve the efficiency and performance of reading nvdimm-namespace
labels. Reduce the amount of label data read at driver load time by a
few orders of magnitude. Reduce heavyweight call-outs to
platform-firmware routines.
* Handle media errors located in the 'struct page' array stored on a
persistent memory namespace. Let the kernel clear these errors rather
than an awkward userspace workaround.
* Fix Address Range Scrub (ARS) completion tracking. Correct occasions
where the kernel indicates completion of ARS before submission.
* Fix asynchronous device registration reference counting.
* Add support for reporting an nvdimm dirty-shutdown-count via sysfs.
* Fix various small libnvdimm core and uapi issues.
