Subject: [GIT PULL 0/7] LightNVM pull request for 4.9

Hi Jens,

A couple of patches for 4.9. We are preparing the pblk target for
upstream, but it will have to wait for at least a cycle before it is
ready.

Geert and Arnd sent two fixes. One check for DMA and another for missing
a device_add check.

Simon added sysfs support to LightNVM. It allows the user to inspect the
geometry of a device through sysfs. As NVMe device driver integrates
with blk-mq, it also exposes the blk-mq sysfs structure.

I added a couple of plumbing patches to enable sysfs. It mainly
refactors nvme and null_blk to take control over nvm_dev and replaces
the gendisk parameter in blk_mq_(un)register_disk() with device and the
associated request queue.

Please pick up.

The patches are available here:

Thank you,
Matias
