Hi Boris,

I gave Vaibhav some long shot hope that his series could be included
in my libnvdimm pull request for -rc1. Save for a last minute clang
report that I misread as a gcc warning, I likely would have included.
This spin is looking to address the last of the comments I had and
something I would consider for -rc2. So, in this case the resends were
requested by me and I'll take the grumbles on Vaibhav's behalf.
