    Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
     "This adds a user for the new 'bytes-remaining' updates to
      memcpy_mcsafe() that you already received through Ingo via the
      x86-dax- for-linus pull.
    
      Not included here, but still targeting this cycle, is support for
      handling memory media errors (poison) consumed via userspace dax
      mappings.
    
      Summary:
    
       - DAX broke a fundamental assumption of truncate of file mapped
         pages. The truncate path assumed that it is safe to disconnect a
         pinned page from a file and let the filesystem reclaim the physical
         block. With DAX the page is equivalent to the filesystem block.
         Introduce dax_layout_busy_page() to enable filesystems to wait for
         pinned DAX pages to be released. Without this wait a filesystem
         could allocate blocks under active device-DMA to a new file.
    
       - DAX arranges for the block layer to be bypassed and uses
         dax_direct_access() + copy_to_iter() to satisfy read(2) calls.
         However, the memcpy_mcsafe() facility is available through the pmem
         block driver. In order to safely handle media errors, via the DAX
         block-layer bypass, introduce copy_to_iter_mcsafe().
    
       - Fix cache management policy relative to the ACPI NFIT Platform
         Capabilities Structure to properly elide cache flushes when they
         are not necessary. The table indicates whether CPU caches are
         power-fail protected. Clarify that a deep flush is always performed
         on REQ_{FUA,PREFLUSH} requests"
