Linus Torvalds 3ff1b28caa libnvdimm for 4.16 
* Require struct page by default for filesystem DAX to remove a number of
   surprising failure cases.  This includes failures with direct I/O, gdb and
   fork(2).
 
 * Add support for the new Platform Capabilities Structure added to the NFIT in
   ACPI 6.2a.  This new table tells us whether the platform supports flushing
   of CPU and memory controller caches on unexpected power loss events.
 
 * Revamp vmem_altmap and dev_pagemap handling to clean up code and better
   support future future PCI P2P uses.
 
 * Deprecate the ND_IOCTL_SMART_THRESHOLD command whose payload has become
   out-of-sync with recent versions of the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL spec, and
   instead rely on the generic ND_CMD_CALL approach used by the two other IOCTL
   families, NVDIMM_FAMILY_{HPE,MSFT}.
 
 * Enhance nfit_test so we can test some of the new things added in version 1.6
   of the DSM specification.  This includes testing firmware download and
   simulating the Last Shutdown State (LSS) status.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Ross Zwisler:

 - Require struct page by default for filesystem DAX to remove a number

 - Add support for the new Platform Capabilities Structure added to the
   NFIT in ACPI 6.2a. This new table tells us whether the platform
   supports flushing of CPU and memory controller caches on unexpected
   power loss events.

 - Revamp vmem_altmap and dev_pagemap handling to clean up code and
   better support future future PCI P2P uses.

 - Deprecate the ND_IOCTL_SMART_THRESHOLD command whose payload has
   become out-of-sync with recent versions of the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL
   spec, and instead rely on the generic ND_CMD_CALL approach used by
   the two other IOCTL families, NVDIMM_FAMILY_{HPE,MSFT}.
