[GIT PULL] PMEM driver for v4.1

Linus,

Please pull the latest x86-pmem-for-linus git tree from:

# HEAD: 4c1eaa2344fb26bb5e936fb4d8ee307343ea0089 drivers/block/pmem: Fix 32-bit build warning in pmem_alloc()

This is the initial support for the pmem block device driver:
persistent non-volatile memory space mapped into the system's physical
memory space as large physical memory regions.

The driver is based on Intel code, written by Ross Zwisler, with fixes
by Boaz Harrosh, integrated with x86 e820 memory resource management
and tidied up by Christoph Hellwig.

Note that there were two other separate pmem driver submissions to
lkml: but apparently all parties (Ross Zwisler, Boaz Harrosh) are
reasonably happy with this initial version.

This version enables minimal support that enables persistent memory
devices out in the wild to work as block devices, identified through a
magic (non-standard) e820 flag and auto-discovered if
CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY=y, or added explicitly through manipulating the
memory maps via the "memmap=..." boot option with the new, special '!'
modifier character.

Limitations: this is a regular block device, and since the pmem areas
are not struct page backed, they are invisible to the rest of the
system (other than the block IO device), so direct IO to/from pmem
areas, direct mmap() or XIP is not possible yet. The page cache will
also shadow and double buffer pmem contents, etc.

Initial support is for x86.

Thanks,

Ingo
