Will remove not required ones. There are from previous
RFC where used *memremap* and other mm & block includes.

Sure! Working on this. Same suggestion by Dan.

Because I was trying to use it from pmem module without loading
virtio_pmem driver or load it dynamically. I think adding flush function in
'nd_region' struct and set it as per region type looks better solution.
Suggested by Dan & you.

I thought about it to some extent, and wanted to go ahead with simple version first:
- I think file 'inode -> locking' sill is there for request on single file.
- For multiple files, our aim is to just flush the backend block image.
- Even there is collision for virt queue read/write entry it should just trigger a Qemu fsync.
We just want most recent flush to assure guest writes are synced properly.
Important point here: We are doing entire block fsync for guest virtual disk.
