Upon detection of an unarmed dimm in a region, arrange for descendant
BTT, PMEM, or BLK instances to be read-only.  A dimm is primarily marked
"unarmed" via flags passed by platform firmware (NFIT).

The flags in the NFIT memory device sub-structure indicate the state of
the data on the nvdimm relative to its energy source or last "flush to
persistence".  For the most part there is nothing the driver can do but
advertise the state of these flags in sysfs and emit a message if
firmware indicates that the contents of the device may be corrupted.
However, for the case of ACPI_NFIT_MEM_ARMED, the driver can arrange for
the block devices incorporating that nvdimm to be marked read-only.
This is a safe default as the data is still available and new writes are
held off until the administrator either forces read-write mode, or the
energy source becomes armed.

A 'read_only' attribute is added to REGION devices to allow for
overriding the default read-only policy of all descendant block devices.

Various cleanups:

1/ Kill the BUG_ON since we've already told the block layer we don't
   support DISCARD on all these drivers.

2/ Kill the 'rw' variable, no need to cache it.

3/ Kill the local 'sector' variable.  bio_for_each_segment() is already
   advancing the iterator's sector number by the bio_vec length.

4/ Kill the check for accessing past the end of device
   generic_make_request_checks() already does that.

BTT stands for Block Translation Table, and is a way to provide power
fail sector atomicity semantics for block devices that have the ability
to perform byte granularity IO. It relies on the capability of libnvdimm
namespace devices to do byte aligned IO.

The BTT works as a stacked blocked device, and reserves a chunk of space
from the backing device for its accounting metadata. It is a bio-based
driver because all IO is done synchronously, and there is no queuing or
asynchronous completions at either the device or the driver level.

The BTT uses 'lanes' to index into various 'on-disk' data structures,
and lanes also act as a synchronization mechanism in case there are more
CPUs than available lanes. We did a comparison between two lane lock
strategies - first where we kept an atomic counter around that tracked
which was the last lane that was used, and 'our' lane was determined by
atomically incrementing that. That way, for the nr_cpus > nr_lanes case,
theoretically, no CPU would be blocked waiting for a lane. The other
strategy was to use the cpu number we're scheduled on to and hash it to
a lane number. Theoretically, this could block an IO that could've
otherwise run using a different, free lane. But some fio workloads
showed that the direct cpu -> lane hash performed faster than tracking
'last lane' - my reasoning is the cache thrash caused by moving the
atomic variable made that approach slower than simply waiting out the
in-progress IO. This supports the conclusion that the driver can be a
very simple bio-based one that does synchronous IOs instead of queuing.

NVDIMM namespaces, in addition to accepting "struct bio" based requests,
also have the capability to perform byte-aligned accesses.  By default
only the bio/block interface is used.  However, if another driver can
make effective use of the byte-aligned capability it can claim namespace
interface and use the byte-aligned ->rw_bytes() interface.

The BTT driver is the initial first consumer of this mechanism to allow
adding atomic sector update semantics to a pmem or blk namespace.  This
patch is the sysfs infrastructure to allow configuring a BTT instance
for a namespace.  Enabling that BTT and performing i/o is in a
subsequent patch.

A complete label set is a PMEM-label per-dimm per-interleave-set where
all the UUIDs match and the interleave set cookie matches the hosting
interleave set.

Present sysfs attributes for manipulation of a PMEM-namespace's
'alt_name', 'uuid', and 'size' attributes.  A later patch will make
these settings persistent by writing back the label.

Note that PMEM allocations grow forwards from the start of an interleave
set (lowest dimm-physical-address (DPA)).  BLK-namespaces that alias
with a PMEM interleave set will grow allocations backward from the
highest DPA.

nd_pmem attaches to persistent memory regions and namespaces emitted by
the libnvdimm subsystem, and, same as the original pmem driver, presents
the system-physical-address range as a block device.

The existing e820-type-12 to pmem setup is converted to an nvdimm_bus
that emits an nd_namespace_io device.

Note that the X in 'pmemX' is now derived from the parent region.  This
provides some stability to the pmem devices names from boot-to-boot.
The minor numbers are also more predictable by passing 0 to
alloc_disk().

PMEM is a new driver that presents a reserved range of memory as
a block device.  This is useful for developing with NV-DIMMs,
and can be used with volatile memory as a development platform.

This patch contains the initial driver from Ross Zwisler, with
various changes: converted it to use a platform_device for
discovery, fixed partition support and merged various patches
from Boaz Harrosh.
