1/ Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that originated
in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a block device.
This initial implementation is limited to being consulted in the pmem
block-i/o path. Later, 'badblocks' will be consulted when creating
dax mappings.
2/ Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability to
dax-mmap a block device directly.
3/ Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all io-memory
as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access while a driver is
actively using an address range. This behavior is controlled via the
new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be overridden by the
existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line option.
4/ Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
build success notification from the kbuild robot. The 'for-4.5/block-
dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
integration.
There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
export badblocks" received last week. Linda identified some localized
fixups that we will handle incrementally.
Summary:
- Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
block device. This initial implementation is limited to being
consulted in the pmem block-i/o path. Later, 'badblocks' will be
consulted when creating dax mappings.
- Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
to dax-mmap a block device directly.
- Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
while a driver is actively using an address range. This behavior
is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
option.
- Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"
