Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"A couple of fixes for long standing bugs, a warning fixup, and some
miscellaneous dax cleanups.
The bugs were recently found due to new platforms looking to use the
ACPI NFIT "virtual" device definition, and new error injection
capabilities to trigger error responses to label area requests. Ira's
cleanups have been long pending, I neglected to send them earlier, and
see no harm in including them now. This has all appeared in -next with
no reported issues.
Summary:
- Fix support for NFIT "virtual" ranges (BIOS-defined memory disks)
- Fix recovery from failed label storage areas on NVDIMM devices
- Miscellaneous cleanups from Ira's investigation of
dax_direct_access paths preparing for stray-write protection"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
