mainlining shenanigans

pblk implements two data paths for recovery line state. One for 1.2 and another for 2.0, instead of having pblk implement these, combine them in the core to reduce complexity and make available to other targets. The new interface will adhere to the 2.0 chunk definition, including managing open chunks with an active write pointer. To provide this interface, a 1.2 device recovers the state of the chunks by manually detecting if a chunk is either free/open/close/offline, and if open, scanning the flash pages sequentially to find the next writeable page. This process takes on average ~10 seconds on a device with 64 dies, 1024 blocks and 60us read access time. The process can be parallelized but is left out for maintenance simplicity, as the 1.2 specification is deprecated. For 2.0 devices, the logic is maintained internally in the drive and retrieved through the 2.0 interface. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling <mb@lightnvm.io> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
