[PATCH 0/2] libnvdimm: dynamic label support

[Dan Williams]

Allow label support to be dynamically enabled for PMEM regions that are
not aliased with BLK.  By default these PMEM regions are surfaced as a
single / label-less namespace.  However, if the backing dimm(s) for the
region support labels then PMEM sub-division support can be enabled by

  1/ disable the pmem region
  2/ write a valid namespace index block to the label area
  3/ re-enable the region and create a namespace

See the man page for the "ndctl init-labels" command.
