[PATCH 5/6] nd_blk: add support for "read flush" DSM flag

[Ross Zwisler]

Add support for the "read flush" _DSM flag, as outlined in the DSM spec:

http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf

This flag tells the ND BLK driver that it needs to flush the cache lines
associated with the aperture after the aperture is moved but before any new
data is read.  This ensures that any stale cache lines from the previous
contents of the aperture will be discarded from the processor cache, and the
new data will be read properly from the DIMM.  We know that the cache lines
are clean and will be discarded without any writeback because either a) the
previous aperture operation was a read, and we never modified the contents of
the aperture, or b) the previous aperture operation was a write and we must
have written back the dirtied contents of the aperture to the DIMM
before the I/O was completed.

By supporting the "read flush" flag we can also change the ND BLK aperture
mapping from write-combining to write-back via memremap_pmem().
