Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This cycle was was not something I ever want to repeat as there were
  several late changes that have only now just settled.

  Half of the branch up to commit d2c997c ("fs, dax: use
  page->mapping to warn...") have been in -next for several releases.
  The of_pmem driver and the address range scrub rework were late
  arrivals, and the dax work was scaled back at the last moment.

  The of_pmem driver missed a previous merge window due to an oversight.
  A sense of obligation to rectify that miss is why it is included for
  4.17. It has acks from PowerPC folks. Stephen reported a build failure
  that only occurs when merging it with your latest tree, for now I have
  fixed that up by disabling modular builds of of_pmem. A test merge
  with your tree has received a build success report from the 0day robot
  over 156 configs.

  An initial version of the ARS rework was submitted before the merge
  window. It is self contained to libnvdimm, a net code reduction, and
  passing all unit tests.

  The filesystem-dax changes are based on the wait_var_event()
  functionality from tip/sched/core. However, late review feedback
  showed that those changes regressed truncate performance to a large
  degree. The branch was rewound to drop the truncate behavior change
  and now only includes preparation patches and cleanups (with full acks
  and reviews). The finalization of this dax-dma-vs-trnucate work will
  need to wait for 4.18.

  Summary:

   - A rework of the filesytem-dax implementation provides for detection
     of unmap operations (truncate / hole punch) colliding with
     in-progress device-DMA. A fix for these collisions remains a
     work-in-progress pending resolution of truncate latency and
     starvation regressions.

   - The of_pmem driver expands the users of libnvdimm outside of x86
     and ACPI to describe an implementation of persistent memory on
     PowerPC with Open Firmware / Device tree.

   - Address Range Scrub (ARS) handling is completely rewritten to
     account for the fact that ARS may run for 100s of seconds and there
     is no platform defined way to cancel it. ARS will now no longer
     block namespace initialization.

   - The NVDIMM Namespace Label implementation is updated to handle
     label areas as small as 1K, down from 128K.

   - Miscellaneous cleanups and updates to unit test infrastructure"

+Device-tree bindings for persistent memory regions
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+Persistent memory refers to a class of memory devices that are:
+
+	a) Usable as main system memory (i.e. cacheable), and
+	b) Retain their contents across power failure.
+
+Given b) it is best to think of persistent memory as a kind of memory mapped
+storage device. To ensure data integrity the operating system needs to manage
+persistent regions separately to the normal memory pool. To aid with that this
+binding provides a standardised interface for discovering where persistent
+memory regions exist inside the physical address space.
+
+Bindings for the region nodes:
+-----------------------------
+
+Required properties:
+	- compatible = "pmem-region"
+
+	- reg = <base, size>;
+		The reg property should specificy an address range that is
+		translatable to a system physical address range. This address
+		range should be mappable as normal system memory would be
+		(i.e cacheable).
+
+		If the reg property contains multiple address ranges
+		each address range will be treated as though it was specified
+		in a separate device node. Having multiple address ranges in a
+		node implies no special relationship between the two ranges.
+
+Optional properties:
+	- Any relevant NUMA assocativity properties for the target platform.
+
+	- volatile; This property indicates that this region is actually
+	  backed by non-persistent memory. This lets the OS know that it
+	  may skip the cache flushes required to ensure data is made
+	  persistent after a write.
+
+	  If this property is absent then the OS must assume that the region
+	  is backed by non-volatile memory.
+
+Examples:
+--------------------
+
+	/*
+	 * This node specifies one 4KB region spanning from
+	 * 0x5000 to 0x5fff that is backed by non-volatile memory.
+	 */
+	pmem@5000 {
+		compatible = "pmem-region";
+		reg = <0x00005000 0x00001000>;
+	};
+
+	/*
+	 * This node specifies two 4KB regions that are backed by
+	 * volatile (normal) memory.
+	 */
+	pmem@6000 {
+		compatible = "pmem-region";
+		reg = < 0x00006000 0x00001000
+			0x00008000 0x00001000 >;
+		volatile;
+	};
+
