Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] libnvdimm, pfn: support section misaligned pmem
Permit platforms with section-misaligned persistent memory to establish
memory-mode (pfn) namespaces. This sacrifices 64-128MB of pmem to gain
third-party DMA/RDMA support.
Changes since v1 [1]:
1/ Dropped "mm: fix mixed zone detection in devm_memremap_pages" since
it was pulled into Andrew's tree.
2/ Moved CONFIG_SPARSEMEM #ifdef guards into drivers/nvdimm/pfn.h
3/ Added "libnvdimm, pmem: adjust for section collisions with 'System
RAM'", i.e. support for reserving head and tail capacity out of a
namespace to permit a section aligned range to be used for a
'pfn'-device instance.
4/ Added 'resource' and 'size' attributes to an active pfn instance.
