cfe30b8720 libnvdimm, pmem: adjust for section collisions with 'System RAM' 
On a platform where 'Persistent Memory' and 'System RAM' are mixed
within a given sparsemem section, trim the namespace and notify about the
sub-optimal alignment.

d9cbe09d39 libnvdimm, pmem: fix 'pfn' support for section-misaligned namespaces 
The altmap for a section-misaligned namespace needs to arrange for the
base_pfn to be section-aligned.  As a result the 'reserve' region (pfns
from base that do not have a struct page) must be increased.  Otherwise
we trip the altmap validation check in __add_pages:

	if (altmap->base_pfn != phys_start_pfn
			|| vmem_altmap_offset(altmap) > nr_pages) {
		pr_warn_once("memory add fail, invalid altmap\n");
		return -EINVAL;
	}

e1455744b2 libnvdimm, pfn: 'struct page' provider infrastructure 
Implement the base infrastructure for libnvdimm PFN devices. Similar to
BTT devices they take a namespace as a backing device and layer
functionality on top. In this case the functionality is reserving space
for an array of 'struct page' entries to be handed out through
pfn_to_page(). For now this is just the basic libnvdimm-device-model for
configuring the base PFN device.

As the namespace claiming mechanism for PFN devices is mostly identical
to BTT devices drivers/nvdimm/claim.c is created to house the common
bits.
