Can you please update the commit log with the following? It reflects
the changes in sysfs btt files.

Thanks,

Add support of sysfs 'numa_node' to I/O-related NVDIMM devices
under /sys/bus/nd/devices, regionN, namespaceN.0, and bttN.x.

An example of numa_node values on a 2-socket system with a single
NVDIMM range on each socket is shown below.
/sys/bus/nd/devices
|-- btt0.0/numa_node:0
|-- btt1.0/numa_node:1
|-- btt1.1/numa_node:1
|-- namespace0.0/numa_node:0
|-- namespace1.0/numa_node:1
|-- region0/numa_node:0
|-- region1/numa_node:1

These numa_node files are then linked under the block class of
their device names.
/sys/class/block/pmem0/device/numa_node:0
/sys/class/block/pmem1s/device/numa_node:1

This enables numactl(8) to accept 'block:' and 'file:' paths of
pmem and btt devices as shown in the examples below.
numactl --preferred block:pmem0 --show
numactl --preferred file:/dev/pmem1s --show
