Currently lightnvm and pblk uses single DMA pool, for which the entry size always is equal to PAGE_SIZE. The contents of each entry allocated from the DMA pool consists of a PPA list (8bytes * 64), leaving 56bytes * 64 space for metadata. Since the metadata field can be bigger, such as 128 bytes, the static size does not cover this use-case. This patch adds support for I/O metadata above 56 bytes by changing DMA pool size based on device meta size and allows pblk to use OOB metadata >=16B.

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.
