Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
- Improve the efficiency and performance of reading nvdimm-namespace
labels. Reduce the amount of label data read at driver load time by a
few orders of magnitude. Reduce heavyweight call-outs to
platform-firmware routines.
- Handle media errors located in the 'struct page' array stored on a
persistent memory namespace. Let the kernel clear these errors rather
than an awkward userspace workaround.
- Fix Address Range Scrub (ARS) completion tracking. Correct occasions
where the kernel indicates completion of ARS before submission.
- Fix asynchronous device registration reference counting.
- Add support for reporting an nvdimm dirty-shutdown-count via sysfs.
- Fix various small libnvdimm core and uapi issues.
