Changes since v1 [1]: 1/ Fixup the unit test in response to the 4.2-rc1 merge (handle the new usage of ioremap_wt).
2/ Add unit test infrastructure for NFIT "flush" sub-table entries 3/ Fix the mock DSM implementation's usage of ENOTTY 4/ Replace usage of devm_ioremap_resource() with devm_ioremap_nocache() for mapping flush table addresses. Multiple DIMMs are allowed to share the same flush address. Also, the side effect of stray writes to a flush address are simply extra memory controller buffer flushes, so we don't strictly need exclusive resource ownership. 5/ Fixed the warning "unable to guarantee persistence of writes" to consider the case of a platform without PMEM API support, but *with* flush address entries. 6/ Fixed the "latch" flag retrieval code to proceed with a sane default in the case the "DIMM flags" DSM is not implemented.

Originally posted as part of the initial PMEM API submission at the end of May [2], they got deferred while we iterated on the details of memremap_pmem(), memcpy_to_pmem(), and wmb_pmem(). Now that those APIs are upstream these patches finish off enabling persistence guarantees for BLK-mode persistent memory.
