1/ Kill drivers/block/e820_pmem.c, we can just register pmem
regions directly from arch/x86/kernel/pmem.c without need for an
intermediary driver (Christoph).

2/ Update to latest NFIT UUID definitions (Toshi). This
merges cleanly with, and is identical to the include/acpi/
NFIT enabling in Rafael's linux-pm.git/bleeding-edge branch.

3/ Fix up some miscellaneous checkpatch issues (Robert).

This branch has passed a full run through Fengguang's 0-day-kbuild-robot
with no outstanding reports, and it passes* our unit tests defined in
the ndctl repo (https://github.com/pmem/ndctl). As you can see the
magnitude of the review feedback has dropped off precipitously so I feel
confident in recommending this branch as a merge candidate. Some
general notes and credits appear in the tag-message below.

Thanks Jens!

* We have a handful of minor features pending behind this release that
are exercised in the latest unit tests. However, these patches have
been held back to save the libnd review effort from chasing a moving
target.

libnd: Non-Volatile Devices (2015-05-27 02:48:52 -0400)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Initial LIBND submission

The LIBND sub-system provides generic support for non-volatile memory
devices. It extends the kernel's existing X86_PMEM_LEGACY support to also
enable devices that conform to the NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table (NFIT)
specification published with ACPI 6 (http://www.uefi.org/specifications).
NFIT describes devices that may include both a BLK (mmio aperture I/O)
mode of operation as well as PMEM (direct cpu load/store to a persistent
memory range). In addition to the generic LIBND bus driver implementation
and the I/O drivers (BLK and PMEM), a driver for layering atomic sector
update semantics on top of byte-addressable-memory, BTT, is also included.
See Documentation/blockdev/libnd.txt and Documentation/blockdev/btt.txt
for more details.
