Plumb the platform specific backend for the generic libnvdimm firmware
activate interface. Register dimm level operations to arm/disarm
activation, and register bus level operations to report the dynamic
platform-quiesce time relative to the number of dimms armed for firmware
activation.
A new nfit-specific bus attribute "firmware_activate_noidle" is added to
allow the activation to switch between platform enforced, and OS
opportunistic device quiesce. In other words, let the hibernate cycle
handle in-flight device-dma rather than the platform attempting to
increase PCI-E timeouts and the like.

The "Clear Error Unit" may be smaller than the ECC unit size on some
devices. For example, poison may be tracked at 64-byte alignment even
though the ECC unit is larger. Unless / until the ACPI specification
provides a non-ambiguous way to communicate this property do not expose
this to userspace.
Software that had been using this property must already be prepared for
the case where the property is not provided on older kernels, so it is
safe to remove this attribute.

This is an attempt to document the nfit sysfs interface. The
descriptions have been collected from git commit logs and the ACPI
