* Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the parent
to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been reported via
the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block devices for namespaces
in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that namespaces can be in "device-dax"
or "btt-sector" mode this new interface reports media errors
generically, i.e. independent of namespace modes or state. This
subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1 Section
9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error" requests and
submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus devices.
* Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted by
a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for dax
capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations. This fixes
the broken assumption that all dax operations are related to a
persistent memory device, and makes it easier for other architectures
and platforms to add customized persistent memory support.
* 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger memory
controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would otherwise be
flushed automatically by the platform ADR (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh)
mechanism at a power loss event. Support for "locked" DIMMs is included
to prevent namespaces from surfacing when the namespace label data area
is locked. Finally, fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes,
also tagged for -stable.
* ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to add
DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM payload
debug available by default, and various fixes.

whether blocks should migrate to/from the cache. The bio-prison-v2
interface supports this improvement by enabling direct dispatch of
work to workqueues rather than having to delay the actual work
dispatch to the DM cache core. So the dm-cache policies are much more
nimble by being able to drive IO as they see fit. One immediate
benefit from the improved latency is a cache that should be much more
adaptive to changing workloads.

additional per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity

the DM raid target to use it to enable aid4/5/6 journal write-back

- Switch the DM verity target over to using the asynchronous hash crypto
API (this helps work better with architectures that have access to
off-CPU algorithm providers, which should reduce CPU utilization).

Allocate a dax_device to represent the capacity of a device-mapper
instance. Provide a ->direct_access() method via the new dax_operations
indirection that mirrors the functionality of the current direct_access
support via block_device_operations. Once fs/dax.c has been converted
to use dax_operations the old dm_blk_direct_access() will be removed.
A new helper dm_dax_get_live_target() is introduced to separate some of
the dm-specifics from the direct_access implementation.
This enabling is only for the top-level dm representation to upper
layers. Converting target direct_access implementations is deferred to a
separate patch.

DM already calls blk_mq_alloc_request on the request_queue of the
underlying device if it is a blk-mq device. But now that we allow drivers
to allocate additional data and initialize it ahead of time we need to do
the same for all drivers. Doing so and using the new cmd_size
infrastructure in the block layer greatly simplifies the dm-rq and mpath
code, and should also make arbitrary combinations of SQ and MQ devices
with SQ or MQ device mapper tables easily possible as a further step.

Add some seperation between bio-based and request-based DM core code.
'struct mapped_device' and other DM core only structures and functions
have been moved to dm-core.h and all relevant DM core .c files have been
updated to include dm-core.h rather than dm.h
DM targets should _never_ include dm-core.h!
