Linus Torvalds 12f03ee606 libnvdimm for 4.3:
1/ Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
    mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
    kernel's direct map.  This facility is used by the pmem driver to
    enable pfn_to_page() operations on the page frames returned by DAX
    ('direct_access' in 'struct block_device_operations'). For now, the
    'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes from "System
    RAM".  Support for allocating the memmap from device memory will
    arrive in a later kernel.
 
 2/ Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
    ioremap_wt().  memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
    mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects.  The
    replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
    pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.  Completion of
    the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
 
 3/ Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
    driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
    persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
 
 4/ Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
    cacheable to improve performance.
 
 5/ Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support
    for issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
    'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
    ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
    fixes.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
  appeared in a linux-next release.  The changes outside of the typical
  drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
  removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
  the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().

  Summary:

   - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
     mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
     kernel's direct map.

     This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
     operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
     'struct block_device_operations').

     For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
     from "System RAM".  Support for allocating the memmap from device
     memory will arrive in a later kernel.

   - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
     ioremap_wt().  memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
     mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects.  The
     replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
     pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.

     Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.

   - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
     driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
     persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.

   - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
     cacheable to improve performance.

   - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
     issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
     'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
     ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
     fixes"
