Igor Konopko a16816b9e4 lightnvm: disable interleaved metadata
Currently pblk only check the size of I/O metadata and does not take
into account if this metadata is in a separate buffer or interleaved
in a single metadata buffer.

In reality only the first scenario is supported, where second mode will
break pblk functionality during any IO operation.

This patch prevents pblk to be instantiated in case device only
supports interleaved metadata.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
