sparsemem section size determines the maximum size and alignment that
is allowed to offline/online memory block. The bigger the size the less
the clutter in /sys/devices/system/memory/*. On the other hand, however,
there is less flexability in what granules of memory can be added and
removed.

Dont support 'MAP_SYNC' with non-DAX files and DAX files
with asynchronous dax_device. Virtio pmem provides
asynchronous host page cache flush mechanism. We don't
support 'MAP_SYNC' with virtio pmem and xfs.

This patch introduces 'daxdev_mapping_supported' helper
which checks if 'MAP_SYNC' is supported with filesystem
mapping. It also checks if corresponding dax_device is
synchronous. Virtio pmem device is asynchronous and
does not not support VM_SYNC.

This patch adds 'DAXDEV_SYNC' flag which is set
for nd_region doing synchronous flush. This later
is used to disable MAP_SYNC functionality for
ext4 & xfs filesystem for devices don't support
synchronous flush.

This patch adds virtio-pmem driver for KVM guest.
Guest reads the persistent memory range information from
Qemu over VIRTIO and registers it on nvdimm_bus. It also
creates a nd_region object with the persistent memory
range information so that existing 'nvdimm/pmem' driver
can reserve this into sy
This patch adds functionality to perform flush from guest
to host over VIRTIO. We are registering a callback based
on 'nd_region' type. virtio_pmem driver requires this special
flush function. For rest of the region types we are registering
existing flush function. Report error returned by host fsy
This patch series has implementation for "virtio pmem".
"virtio pmem" is fake persistent memory(nvdimm) in guest
which allows to bypass the guest page cache. This also
implements a VIRTIO based asynchronous flush mechanism.
