The current test module cannot be used for testing platforms (make check) that do not have support for NFIT. In order to get the ndctl tests working, we need a module which can emulate NVDIMM devices without relying on ACPI/NFIT. The aim of this proposed module is to implement a similar functionality to the existing module but without the ACPI dependencies. This RFC series is split into reviewable and compilable chunks. This patch adds a new driver and registers two nvdimm bus needed for ndctl make check.

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.
