Subject: [GIT PULL] libnvdimm fix for 4.2

Hi Linus please pull from...

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm libnvdimm-fixes

...to receive a single fix for the nd_blk driver.

The effect of getting the width of this register read wrong is that all
I/O fails when the read returns non-zero.  Given the availability of
ACPI 6 NFIT enabled platforms, this could reasonably wait to come in
during the 4.3 merge window with a tag for 4.2-stable.  Otherwise, this
makes the 4.2 kernel fully functional with devices that conform to the
mmio-block-apertures defined in the ACPI 6 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table).

Full changelog and diffstat below.
