Subject: [PATCH 00/13] prep for device-dax, untangle pfn-device setup

The infrastructure for setting up a pfn-device (struct page memmap array
allocation for reserved memory) is generally useful.  Untangle it from
the pmem driver and make it available as core libnvdimm functionality.
The motivation for this work is an investigation into a standalone
device-dax facility, but the changes stand on their own.

Outside of exporting nvdimm_setup_pfn() as a generic facility this also
includes the following benefits:

1/ fix a section alignment vs badblocks tracking bug

2/ struct pmem_device sheds 24 bytes

3/ struct blk_device is replaced with some (smaller in total) extensions
   to struct nd_namespace_blk.

4/ Reduce pointer chasing by retrieving driver private data from
   ->queuedata rather than bio->bi_bdev->bd_disk->private_data.
